Mary Lachman
As a visual artist, my work explores the intricate relationships between color, line, and texture, drawing inspiration from the natural world's rhythms and patterns. For over 20 years, quilting has been my primary medium, offering both the comfort of familiar. cloth and the meditative practice of stitching.
I believe that my art is a calling, a way to contribute positively to the world by sharing both the process and the outcome. Every stitch and mark is an act of intention, a step towards making beauty and connection more tangible. My work seeks to bridge the internal and external, the personal and the collective, in an effort to inspire and uplift.
