Textile and Quilted Art
Monique Kleinhans

Monique was born in the Flathead Valley and raised on the farm where her grandfather grew up.
"Just as my father took up the plow from his father, I learned to
love and work with fabric from my mother. An avid quilter and teacher,
mom's works lit my creative fire, and much of what I've learned has come
from our playing and experimenting together.
I draw a
lot of inspiration from the natural beauty around us; the
constantly-changing seasons, and the majestic (and sometimes humorous)
animals that wander by daily."
Monique's work includes
traditional quilting techniques, appliqué, and thread painting, along
with fabric she hand-dyes and paints. Many compositions include
three-dimensional objects with a variety of fibers and textures.
