Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher Artist Biography

I am a modern tapestry weaver specializing in large wall hangings using bold color, abstract designs, and sumptuous wools. My work challenges the notion of weaving as a 2-dimensional art form while dismissing many of the “rules” of this traditional craft.

My studio is an oasis of light and color and offers perhaps the best views of the St George River in mid-coast Maine! I created it with the intention of making a space for me to create, and for others to learn my craft comfortably.
