Bryan Grove – Fiber Artist

Bryan creates stunning wall hangings using the techniques of quilting, embroidery, collage, and beading. His pieces also often include “found objects” such as fence posts and barbed wire.

Bryan received a BSE in Art Education from Kansas State Teacher College of Emporia, and an MA and PhD in Art Education from Ohio State University. After 42 years of public school teaching in Alaska, Washington and Ohio he returned to the Flint Hills to teach at Emporia State University. Bryan is now fully retired. We have a limited number of his outstanding works in our shop.
