York Heritage Quilters GuildAnna Hergert
Born and educated in Germany, Anna was exposed to fiber art at an early age. Handwork was a regular part of the weekly school curriculum and her passion for art and textiles became a lifelong pursuit. Teaching handwork, spinning and knitting constitutes only a few stepping stones that eventually led her to obtain diplomas in Art, Design, Contemporary Embroidery as well as Patchwork and Quilting from London City & Guilds. Since 2001, Anna has been a full time professional artist. Her commissioned work can be found in Canadian, US and European homes and public spaces. When she is not traveling to a lecture or teaching, Anna creates art in her dream studio overlooking the breath taking scenery that serves as constant source of inspiration in northern rural Saskatchewan.
