Quilt Day Lecture: Carolina Oneto via Zoom – The Power of Color Composition
Color is an important element in art, understanding how to use it it can be a strong tool to create contrast, balance, focal point and many other important principles when it is time to compose your own work.
Born in Chile, educated as an industrial civil engineer, now living in Brazil, Carolina Oneto will be our November instructor and lecturer.
In Buenos Aires, she had the incredible opportunity of learning patchwork with Teresita Leal and Cecilia Koppman, known Argentinian quilters.
Every February Carolina travels to the Festival of Moderan Quilting (Quiltcon) in the United States where she attends workshops and lectures with known international quilters. This allows her to constantly create new ideas and techniques, to see and be able to take quilting towards a more modern and actual place. She has studied Color Interaction with Professor and artist Eduardo Vilches in the Universidad Católica in Santiago, Chile.
Her quilts have been exhibited in many Quilt Festivals around the world, such as Quilt Week (Paducah, Lancaster, Des Moines, Daytona Beach, Grand Rapids, Virginia Beach), Quiltcon, Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, European Carrefour do Patchwork, Fiberart International, Festival do Patchwork Gramado and Floripa Quilt Festival (both in Brazil). Additionally, my work has been featured at art centers and galleries in Europe, USA and Chile.
