About Maria Shell
Maria Shell’s work is grounded in the tradition and craft of American quilt making. She strives to take the classical components of a traditional bedquilt and manipulate them with the hope of creating surprising combinations of pattern, repetition, and color for the viewer.
Maria is the recipient of a Sustainable Arts Foundation 2011 Winter Award, a Rasmuson Foundation Project Award and two Rasmuson Fellowships (2009, 2013, 2017). She has had several solo and small group shows including Off the Grid which was on view at the Shelburne Art Museum in Shelburne, Vermont from May—October 2022 and On the Grid—Structure as Visual Aesthetic at the Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiberarts Museum in La Conner, Washington. Her book Improv Patchwork—Dynamic Quilts Made with Line & Shape was published in 2017.
