Kim MacConnel

This work has been very inspiring to me, though it is extremely different to my own patterns that i hav created, it is still inspiring due to the mass of decoration which is use and the abstract patterns which i love. Some of her work has been hand designed then computerized, though some is still in its original form. I am really inspired by this work and her imagination.
Kim MacConnel born in 1946 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is an American artist who works with painting, sculpture, and mixed media-collage/fabric. MacConnel is a seminal figure in the Pattern and Decoration movement of the seventies, but overall MacConnel’s oeuvre has surpassed being categorized MacConnel received his BA, with honors, from the University of California, San Diego in 1969 and his MFA, also with honors, in 1972.
