About the Jurors

Jonathan Holstein is a collecter, whose gift of over 400 quilts and related materials to the University of Nebraska Foundation in 2003 helped establish the International Quilt Study Center. The quilts he assembled for the 1971 exhibition Abstract Design in American Quilts at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York is regarded by scholars as instrumental in igniting the quilt renaissance of the 20th and 21st Centuries and elevating quilts to the level of "high" art by presenting them on the walls of a prestigious art museum.

Jan Myers Newbury has exhibited and taught nationally and internationally for thirty years. Her quilts have been included in fourteen Quilt National exhibits and in 1993 won Best of Show. Jan Myers Newbury's quilts are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Art and Design, the Museum of Quilters Society, the American Quilt Study Center, and in corporate and private collections throughout the United States. Her quilt Depth of Field: A Plain View was selected as one of the 20th Century's 100 best quilts. www.janmyersnewbury.com

Leslie Joan Riley, an Illinois native, has explored many mediums before her committment to fiber. After graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she trained as a painter, she discovered quilt making and loved it. Her primary focus is on color and its relationship to form, which she explores through intense piecing and her unique pattern development process. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including the Quilts=Art=Quilts exhibit at the Schweinfurth Art Center. www.lesliejriley.com/Quilts.html

Terry Jarrard-Dimond is a native of SC and resides in Clemson where she maintains a studio. Her love of art began as a child and she studied art through graduate school. Her interest in quilt making began while working as a textile designer and her vision of this medium continues to expand. She enjoys teaching as well as being a student and finds that each position teaches her new things about the creation of art. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. www.terryjarrarddimond.com
