Born in the US, and living in Switzerland for more than 40 years, Maria Stoller has always loved textiles and making things. Her first textile works were quilts, which gradually became figurative and inventive.
In 2006 she discovered drawing and painting which greatly influenced her work. Today Maria works as a mixed media artist mainly with textiles, but also with paint, ink, crayons, paper, etc.
She also builds books and is currently combining old unsuccessful quilts with the book form, creating a kind of 3D quilt.
