A
professional graphic designer since 1980, Regina Vorgang has garnered
awards for her
design projects and built a successful graphic creative design studio
in Stamford, Connecticut.
After many years as a graphic designer
and working on a computer, Regina longed to get back to creating artwork
by hand. Formally trained in traditional
arts along with graphic design, she was always intrigued by the art and
craft of weaving. She participated in a variety of weaving workshops and
classes until she found her love of weaving with wool and making tapestries
and rugs.
In 2002 Regina moved to Ventura, California, where she turned
her focus to combining her unique graphic vision and weaving skills to
create handwoven
tapestries and rugs that bring traditional craft and contemporary color
and design to her pieces. Her rugs can be displayed on the wall or used
on the floor to bring “art to the floor”.
In 2005 Regina was
invited to join Designing Weavers, a Los Angeles based juried fiber artists
guild. Designing
Weavers strives to promote all fiber arts, to develop and share ideas,
and to provide inspiration while also motivating and encouraging
excellence. Regina served as Co-president of the group during the 2006-2007
year.
Regina’s studio is located at the Bell Arts Factory, a landmark
building converted into artists’ studios, in Ventura,
California. She shows her work at her studio, gallery exhibitions, and
juried art and
craft shows such as the American Craft Council, Contemporary Crafts Market,
and the Southwest Arts Festival.
