Sophie Sigel

My name is Sophie Sigel, a fiber and textile artist, educator, activist, nature enthusiast, environmentalist, and former biochemist and high school science teacher. Specializing in intricate and large-scale woven, felted, and hand-beaded fiber and textile arts, my creations carry profound meaning and bear witness to the transformative power of creativity, resilience, and care within the ongoing pursuit of justice and equity.

Beyond being my personal sanctuary for peace and healing, my fiber work assumes a profound dimension as a feminist statement. In my artistic endeavors, I seek to unveil and acknowledge the historical significance of fiber arts as women's work. Embracing this legacy, I strive to bring forth this representation within the fine art world. Through active engagement and reimagining of these art forms, I contribute to a broader narrative that recognizes the enduring strength and creativity inherent in women's artistic contributions. Consequently, my fiber art becomes a contemporary expression, affirming the enduring power and importance of traditionally female-dominated art forms in the present day.
