Featured Artist IN OCTOBER

Amy Stevens

ON DISPLAY OCTOBER 16th TO NOVEMBER 9TH

Amy "Yarn Rambo" Stevens is a self-taught, emerging fiber artist based in Kansas City, KS, with a creative journey that began in 1999. Her artistic identity fully blossomed in 2020 when she dove into tufting, a unique form of fiber art, within her home studio, affectionately called Dharma’s Dungeon. Specializing in tufting, Amy’s work brings a distinctive energy to the medium, blending abstract forms, Warhol-inspired aesthetics, and geometric shapes. Her evolving style breaks boundaries, creating bold and textured art pieces that captivate the senses. In addition to her studio work, Amy is an active presence in the live art scene, performing at art and music festivals where she merges art with sound, creating a dynamic visual experience. Committed to sharing her passion, Amy conducts live tufting demonstrations. Starting in 2025, she will offer tufting workshops, inviting others to explore the possibilities of fiber art. Amy enjoys commissions, finding that they expand her creative range and push her skills to new levels. In her gallery displays, some pieces are temporarily backed, allowing purchasers to choose custom backing options upon acquisition. For Amy, tufting is a language of color, texture, and expression, woven into every piece she creates
