Klesa Colgrove, Montreat, NC

  ...is a Black Mountain fabric artist who has channeled her love of the mountains, nature, and color into the fabric landscapes that she creates.  After living many years in the Appalachian mountains and two years in the Austrian Alps, she finds mountain landscapes to be a constant source of inspiration in her art and a source of peace and tranquility in her life.  In working with fabrics she enjoys playing with color and creating landscapes that take the viewer to remote mountain scenes around the world… or at least in the imagination
