June J. Jacobs

My fibre work is inspired by nature’s miracles. I live and work in an environment that allows me to witness seasonal extremes and transformations. Using my eyes to look and to see, I transform these ideas and visions, utilizing various fibre techniques including: Felting, nuno felting, hand and machine embroidery, applique and quilting to express my interpretations. My style is generally figurative and realistic. It is through the use of colour, combined with alteration of the form, addition of textural components and pushing the boundaries to the abstract that currently intrigues and challenging my abilities.

I have been active in Saskatchewan fine craft for more than forty years in a variety of capacities: fibre artist, exhibitor; owner of Hand Wave Gallery; educator, workshop participant, adjudicator and juror, active Saskatchewan Craft Council member, CARFAC member; Saskatchewan Professional Art Gallery president and member and fibre guilds member and co-ordinator of many arts related activities.
