This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, my guest is Sarah Spencer, also known as Io the Alien. Sarah is an artist who uses textiles as her main medium, always following her curiosities and giving her attention to the work that brings her joy.Lately, she’s been creating striking sketch portraits of women and “interesting men,” blending paint on canvas with stitched thread lines to bring her drawings to life. Sarah’s textile journey began with sewing her own clothes, then grew while she was teaching at a small art school in Chicago, where a quilting class sparked her love for improvisation. With guidance from artist Sheila Frampton Cooper, Sarah has continued carving her own unique path, building a body of work that feels fully her own.When she’s not making art, Sarah is also a radio DJ. If you’re in Chicago, you can catch her live, or stream her past shows anytime at chirpradio.com Enjoy our conversation, and be sure to check out Sarah’s work at iothealien.com Want to see more?
