Abstract Art for Quiltmakers - the students' favorites

I currently have a class running at academyofquilting.com  called Abstract Art for Quiltmakers.
It's full, by the way, but will be running again later this year - if you're interested please just contact the dean: dean@academyofquilting.com.

 In the class we discuss abstract painting, but also look at some of the current abstract work in the quilt field.  I ask the students to list their favorites.

This is a list compiled by one of the students of the quilters that the ladies in the class have felt they liked the most who are doing abstract work.

If you think there's anyone significant whom they missed - please do give their name and a link to their website in the comments box - then everyone will take a look!!
Apologies for the weird formatting - believe me I worked on it!!!   but now it's time for a cuppa tea and then some quilting!!!   Elizabeth
