Hello and welcome to my studio.
My name is  Jo Ann Cooper. 
Please come in, relax, visit my garden for a while and look at my quilts.
I live, quilt and garden in Virginia with my husband, Dave, a few cats and a very spoiled dog.

On this page you will find pictures of a few of my quilts and my garden, and a bit of information about me.

Art and quilting are a part of my heritage.  My grandmother and great-grandmother were accomplished quilters.  My grandfather's sister was a professional artist.  I have been interested in art since I was a child and began doodling pictures of horses in the margins of my books.  My family quickly made sure that I had a supply of more appropriate drawing paper, and I've been creating things ever since. 

I attended Virginia Commonwealth University where I earned a B.F.A., but it has only been in recent years that I discovered the art of quilting and found my real passion.  Lucky me!

I am currently an active member of the Virginia Star Quilter's Guild and the Cabin Branch Quilter's Guild.  I occasionally make and sell quilts locally on commission, and many more of my quilts live with family and friends.
