Bio: Gloria B. Skovronsky was born in California and moved to Puget Sound in 1985. She has been an arts administrator, a museum curator, and has taught classes and workshops for twenty years. She is a weaver, a quilter, a dyer, a sculptor and has often utilized unusual combinations of materials and objects in her structures. Her work often relates to fantasy and memory and the mystery of time. "My father was a carpenter," she says. "I grew up in a garage that was redolent with the smell of sawdust and my happiest moments were when playing with old coffee cans filled with nuts and bolts. I was taught the needle arts by my mother when I was a child, and I continue to explore the inexplicable reassurance of pattern and interlacement in most of my work."
