Alexis Deise

Alexis Deise is an artist working in quilts. Her fresh and modern designs incorporate motifs and techniques from traditional quilts, but place them in a current context. Usually working in series, her projects include: “Black and White”, variations on traditional quilt patterns using a stripped-down palette and alternative configurations; “Quilts for Ruth”, a series of quilts based on the feminist jurisprudence of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; and “Kintsugi”, quilts inspired by the kintsugi aesthetic tradition in Japanese pottery. Alexis’ quilt, Kintsugi VII: Birds in the Air, was a winner at this year’s QuiltCon, and her quilts have been juried into numerous shows and exhibits. Her work has been published in magazines and books including: Curated Quilts; Modern Quilts: Designs for the New Century; and Simply Moderne Magazine. Alexis is an attorney by day and lives with her family outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Welcome, Alexis!
