Meet Veronica Von Zwehl 

VERONICA VON ZWEHL creates art quilts, fiber art and original wall hangings.  "To me, fiber art and art quilts involve a uniquely creative combination of color, texture and value.  My inspiration comes from the structures, patterns, shapes and shadings found in nature.  Most of my work focuses on plants, scenery and the natural world.  Additionally, I am fascinated with the relative effect of value within the context of a design and often utilize value studies in abstract work."
