Dede Decker
Diana “Dede” Decker is a self-taught textile artist. What began as a pastime for Dede has grown into a vital artistic practice in rug hooking and embroidery. She creates large and small-scale pictorial pieces, each filled with cats, kittens, puppies, and flowers. Bright colors create vibrant negative spaces outlining the form of each animal and flower. Dede’s use of yarn adds to the cozy, comforting feeling of her work. Her charming, fun, and cheerful designs are skillful demonstrations of her artistic voice.
