Who is Kevin Womack?

A native of the rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Kevin Womack is a textile artist whose work weaves together memory, tradition, and innovation. He began his journey into quilting in 1986, guided by the hands of his maternal grandmother, who revealed the power of fabric and stitch. Drawn to the rich history held in every scrap of cloth, Kevin discovered a lifelong passion for exploring the expressive language of pattern, color, and texture.

Over the years, his devotion to fiber art deepened, leading to a love of hand-dyeing

and surface design. He transforms plain fabric into vibrant works that balance quiet

reflection with visual energy. Through bold color, layered patterns, and subtle textures, he intertwines abstraction, storytelling, and the tactile beauty of cloth, inviting viewers to connect with the personal and collective histories embedded in each piece.

Kevin has exhibited his quilts widely in regional and national venues, including QuiltNational, Quilt Visions, and the Virginia Quilt Museum. His artistry has earned

numerous accolades, including Best in Show at Quilts=Art=Quilts 2021 at the

Schweinfurth Art Center and the Award of Excellence at Form, Not Function at the

Carnegie Center for Art & History in 2023.

A dedicated educator and speaker, Kevin teaches and lectures across the country,

sharing his passion for fiber, design, and the enduring power of cloth and story.
