Barbara Danzi is a Los Angeles-based artist who makes large-scale improvisational abstract quilts. Her approach of freehand cutting each piece of fabric and her complex use of color creates quilts with a painterly aesthetic where the seams appear to be hand-drawn lines.

Barbara merges her engineering degree and design study with her outdoor adventures to create compelling designs based on organic shapes in the natural world. Besides exhibiting her award-winning quilts around the world, Barbara lectures to quilt and fiber art groups and serves as a curator, juror and judge for exhibits. Barbara is a Juried Artist Member of SAQA, the Studio Art Quilt Associates, and a member of Textile Arts Los Angeles, and the Textile Study Group of New York.
