About Kate

Kate Lenkowsky participates in both traditional and studio quilt activities. She learned to quilt in the early 1990s and subsequently won several awards at the Indiana State Fair. Her quilt, A Call to Service, hangs in the entryway of the Corporation for National and Community Service at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. For Everything There Is a Season hangs at Congregation Shaarey Tefilla in Carmel, Indiana.

Contemporary Quilt Art: An Introduction and Guide grew out of the author's desire to learn more about the relationships between studio quilts and other forms of visual art and to share her interest in and love of this art with the public. Previous publications include a historical monograph about the former home of the Hudson Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana.
