About Jeane
Jeane Vogel is an award-winning tapestry, mixed media, and photographic artist who adds a sense of comfort and warmth to her weaving and stitched photographs through practices that attempt calm meditation. She is keenly aware that fiber artists stand on the shoulders of thousands of generations of grandmothers who provided the basics of life, but didn’t forget to add the beauty to their cloth.
She produces work in tapestry, shirbori dyeing, sashiko stitching, embroidery, and woven cloth.
Issues of cultural identity, justice, feminine strength, and connection to antiquity are central to her art practice. Her work often responds to the world about her. Her work has been recognized, exhibited, and collected all over North America and Europe. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Jewish Museum of Brooklyn, the Union of Reform Judaism, Central Reform Congregation, Nicolet College Museum of Art, and private and corporate collections. She is a juried Fellow in the international Jewish Art Salon, and a member of the American Tapestry Alliance, the British Tapestry Group, Weave A Real Peace, Textile Society of America, Women’s Caucus for Art, Weavers Guild of St. Louis, and Missouri Fiber Artists.
She has been invited to artist residencies at the University of Zhongshan, China; Athlone, Ireland; and the Lillian Smith Center in the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. Her studio is in St. Louis, MO. and she is on the teaching faculty at Craft Alliance in St. Louis, and at weaving guilds and conferences. Jeane is married to Steve Sorkin, her partner of 36 years. They have two adult children: Chani Dev; and Aaron, an adult with disabilities who lives with them.
