Lisa Basile is a local artist, maker and teacher. She began her art journey as a textile designer, initially designing for a small SoHo bedding company and then a larger quilt company. Later, Lisa dabbled in screen printing and merged thread as line with printed pieces. She currently works as a non-traditional quilter, guided by an intuitive sense of color, shape, edges, texture, and a feeling of “hand” in every piece she makes. When she quilts, she has little idea about its final form, and finds the mystery of the process a private challenge.
