About the Artist

Artist, a slight, white woman with short grey hard, in front of a textured fiber wall hanging in a museum.

Pattern and decoration have influenced Deborah Kruger's work since her training in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York. Kruger, who is based in Durham, North Carolina, has exhibited her work in museums and galleries in the USA, Europe, Australia and Mexico since the 1980s. Kruger's environmental artwork has recently been acquired by the Museum of Arts & Design (MAD) in New York City.
