About Priscilla Bianchi

Guatemalan native, Priscilla Bianchi, textile artist, designer, author and international teacher, represents a unique personality in today’s fiber arts world. Her innovative, one-of-a-kind art quilts unite cultures by combining the richness and ethnic appeal of Mayan Guatemalan hand-woven textiles, colors, patterns, textures and symbolism, with American quilt making techniques, giving life to a myriad of designs that are fresh, original and contemporary with profound Guatemalan roots and identity. Her main inspiration for her geometric abstract work comes from Mayan Guatemalan costumes.

World renowned, Priscilla’s prolific multicultural artwork is exhibited nationally and internationally and has been acquired by the Museum of Arts & Design (MAD) in New York City, the Hyatt Centric Hotel in Guatemala City, the Hotel & Museum Casa Santo Domingo in Antigua, Guatemala, and many private collectors. She is invited to teach and lecture about Guatemalan textiles and art quilting around the world, in places like the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Europe.

In December, 2010 the Guatemalan Postal Service issued a Postal Stamp Edition entitled “Guatemalan Textile Art” featuring 10 of her art quilts. Priscilla guides specialized textile tours to Guatemala where she lives, and has designed fabric collections for Robert Kaufman in California. Her work has been published extensively: she has written three books “¡Caliente Quilts!” (Krause Publications, 2007) “Guatemalan Textile Art and Design” (Banco Industrial, 2010), and her latest “Priscilla Bianchi, Guatemala Art Quilts” (D´buk, 2019) . Her work has also been featured in many articles in international magazines.
