Lifetime quilter and award winning Oregon Artist, Trisha Hassler has enjoyed numerous group and one woman exhibits throughout the United States and New Zealand. Her work has been published internationally in books and magazines highlighting contemporary fiber work. As a current board member of Art In The Pearl Fine Arts & Crafts Festival and former board member of L.O.C.A.L. 14 she is very involved in the local arts community in her home town of Portland. Trisha embraces both torch-cut steel and improvisational quilt construction and through her artistic abilities combines the two mediums into one art form even though the two parts are considered at opposite ends of the artistic spectrum. Her work is known for it's intricacy and surface detail and the use of the dissimilar elements has become her trademark. Trisha Hassler's artwork is available exclusively in Central Oregon at High Desert Gallery in Bend and Sisters, Oregon.
