Suzanne Falter is a photorealistic art quilter whose work is made entirely of cotton fabric, colored pencil, fabric marker, and occasional accents of white fabric paint. No other paint is involved. Her work is finished with free motion quilting on a domestic sewing machine.

 

Suzanne is already being recognized for her detailed, realistic approach. The third piece she created, ‘I Dreamt of Roses’, will debut in the prestigious 2026 Art Quilt Elements show sponsored by Studio Art Quilt Associates. 

Suzanne comes to textile art from a realist background, as the daughter of Saturday Evening Post Cover artist John Falter. After spending long childhood afternoons in her father’s studio, she absorbed his aesthetic, as well as that of his mentor, Andrew Wyeth. In addition to studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Suzanne is mentored by fabric collage artist Sandra Mollon.

Suzanne lives with her wife in Oakland, CA.
