Marie Bergstedt spent her first fifteen<br />
years moving back and forth between<br />
a foster home and her birth mother.<br />
Lacking a rhythmic family structure,<br />
she picked up sewing, crocheting, and<br />
knitting at an early age, literally stitching<br />
her way through hard times. In<br />
the 1970s and 80s Bergstedt studied a<br />
wide range of traditional art techniques, concentrating in hand-colored photography and giving<br />
vision to memories from her childhood. She continued her studies and art practice while<br />
working as a fund development professional, transitioning to fiber art and completing private<br />
commissions for jewelry and clothing design after hours. Returned to full-time art since 2006,<br />
Bergstedt has combined the conceptual roots of her photographic images with the fiber and<br />
design skills first employed to mentally ground her<br />
childhood. Memories and life challenges inspire<br />
the themes of her recent fiber sculptures, which<br />
have been selected for 68 juried exhibitions, seven<br />
books, three interviews and 16 awards. Her work<br />
has been included in twenty press publications<br />
including Germany’s Textile Forum, England’s embroidery<br />
magazine, and Fiber <strong>Art</strong> Now in the USA.<br />
