Who is Kestrel Michaud?

Kestrel Michaud is a classically-trained and award-winning fine artist, illustrator, and art quilter. She graduated with honors in 2010 from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. Kestrel made appliqué fabric pictures for 13 years before discovering art quilts in 2017. Since then, Kestrel has adapted her process to be entirely digital, invented a method to prevent fraying when cutting fabric on a cutting machine, and added stitching to turn her fabric pictures into quilts. Her fine art training, creative mind, inventive nature, decades of experience, and unique style make Kestrel's work unlike that of any other artist.
