Monique Kleinhans--Textile Artist

I draw a lot of inspiration from the natural beauty around us; the constantly-changing seasons, and the majestic (and sometimes humorous) animals that wander by daily.
My work includes traditional quilting techniques, appliqué, and thread painting, along with fabrics I hand-dye and paint. Many compositions include three-dimensional objects with a variety of fibers and textures.
I am one of 10 local artists featured in the Gallery Paint Metal and Mud located in the Historic Kalispell Grand Hotel and I also teach a variety of classes in textile art both locally as well as a part of workshops around the country. Look for some of my handcrafted items at my Etsy as well.
Enjoy your wander...and feel free to contact me with any questions!
