faith Ringgold
Faith Ringgold was born October 8, 1930 in Harlem, New York, City and is an African American artist, best known for her painted story quilts. She was greatly influenced by the fabric she worked with at home with her mother, who was a fashion designer, and has used fabric in many of her artworks. She is especially well known for her painted story quilts which blur the line between "high art" and "craft" by combining painting, quilted fabric, and storytelling.
