KIRSTEN FISHER was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, a significant regional center of culture and design, where she began the foundation of her work in fiber crafts. What started as sewing and knitting soon evolved into new forms of expression after her move to Brooklyn, NY in 1977. She quickly grew to love the traditional American art form of quilting as she gained exposure to her new home’s artistic techniques. She has taught workshops at WCC and the New York City Quilter.
