ANDREA TSANG JACKSON is a textile artist, quilt designer, author and teacher. After working in various design fields and settings ranging from architecture to museums, the quilting medium called to her as a way to celebrate community and collaboration and explore ideas of belonging. The language of quilts and the rich history of quilting heavily influence her practice; she sees it as an extension of community across time. Andrea strives to push the limits of the quilting medium by exploring scale and dimension and moving traditionally domestic objects into the public realm.

Andrea’s forthcoming book with Nine Ten Publications explores aspects of creative practice, specifically for quiltmakers. She lives in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia.
