Wendy Evans taught Art History at Wayne State University and elsewhere and is a long-time volunteer at the Detroit Institute of Arts. She has advanced degrees from Oxford University in England and Wayne State University in Detroit. Known for her English accent and crazy socks, Wendy loves to share her passion for art with audiences. Her topic will be: 

Stitching Stories: Fabric Art through the Ages
Quilts, samplers, embroidery and appliqué have been used to tell meaningful stories, some historical, some religious, some personal, and many not only beautiful but deeply moving. She'll explore a range of stitched examples, ritual textiles and samplers and other stories in 20th century samplers, quilts and embroideries.
