Annesley is a textile artist and illustrator based in Pittsburgh, PA. Annesley’s practice is inspired by the vibrant possibilities of maximalism. They combine their background in illustration with their traditional quilting experience to create colorful whole-cloth quilts containing bright colors, complex and emotional designs, and intricate stitchwork. As a disabled, queer artist living with chronic pain, their body sets the pace for their work, and they have come to embrace that slowness as an integral part of the art itself. They create work that reflects their way of life: focusing on joy, care, comfort and community.
