Being able to create from home and spend time with her two children, Evelyn and William, is the perfect life for Jes Zange, a fiber artist based in Milwaukee, WI. After pursuing an undergraduate degree in fine arts, Jes explored a number of creative endeavors—painting, event planning, and even designing installations for Anthropologie. It was not until her first child was born in 2016 that she discovered her love for fiber art. Bothered by the idea that she was exposing her newborn to toxic paints, Jes asked the question, “what if I could paint with yarn?” Out of this curiosity, her original textile art was born, consisting of various techniques, vibrant colors, and a depth of textures.
