Frame size: 17"H x 21"W Image size: 9.75"H x 13.5"W Doris Lyons Hoover (American, 1927-2014) was born in Fort Payne, Alabama, on Oct. 8, 1927, on her grandparents' farm. She was raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and attended college at the University of Chattanooga, (now UTC) where she received honors in ar. At U.C. she met her husband Jack Hoover, and the couple moved to Palo Alto in 1954. Doris Hoover became a nationally known fabric artist, teacher, lecturer and co-founder of the Peninsula Stitchery Guild, a leading organization in the Bay Area Crafts Movement of the 1970s. Her beautiful, often playful quilts, soft sculptures and creative stitchings grace homes, offices, and museums throughout California and beyond. She also authored "Too Hot to Handle: Potholders and How to Make Them," and co-authored "Tassels," another how-to book. Art permeated Hoover's life, and both her home and garden were a constantly evolving visual feast enjoyed by friends and family. An archive of her work in fabric art has been established at Vanderbilt University. Exh: 1969 - Gallery House, Palo Alto, CA
