Here Emily visits with a hummingbird.
Emily Zopf was a quiltmaker and student of nature based in Taos, NM. She exhibited her work nationally in museums and galleries, and was a founder of Seattle’s Contemporary Quilt Guild. She worked both in medical laboratories and in the mountains, building fine furniture and sustainably designed houses with her fellow crafter, Seers’ contributor, and soul mate Bob Bresnahan. She died on January 9, 2020, on the 37th anniversary of their wedding day. The Catalogue is deeply grateful for her contributions to art in general, and to American art particularly, and to this publication, and to the people who have been lucky enough to know her.
She was celebrated by her community with a retrospective exhibition at Taos Center for the Arts’ Stables Gallery, January 18-21st, 2020.
