Grace Butland has been working with textiles since the age of nine, when she chose sewing as a 4-H Club project. Over the years, her interests expanded to traditional quilting and wearable art, then to art quilting. Her current work is focused on eco-dyeing and printing, using purchased sustainably harvested plant dyes along with plant materials collected on her daily walks. Her work is influenced by the natural world around her. She lives in Annapolis Royal.
