BJ Elvgren

My art work covers a variety of mediums.  I began working with fabric, making art quilts and painting on them.  They have won awards and are in corporate collections as well as the Museum of the American Society of Quilters in Paducah, Ky.  I do more acrylic painting now, especially of flowers, but still use fabric for inspiration and collage.  I also make whimsical paper mache sculptures, flying pigs, foxes, birds, etc.

All of these are in a rich folk art tradition.  I am a self-taught artist.  My work is colorful, whimsical, and is meant to celebrate God’s wonderful creation.  My ambition is to make art that brings joy to the viewer.
