Artist Jean Hicks
developed her unique perspective over two decades
of experience, work and travel. She holds degrees in history, Spanish and education.
As a maker, she studied classical millinery
under Wayne Wichern. But her sculptural perspective on felt has also been influenced by work
in ceramics, especially her studies at the Escuela de Artes y Applicadas de Deseños in Vittoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
Developing her own distinctive
style of hand-blocked felt has lead Jean Hicks not only to found Erratica Handmade Felt but
also to solo shows, theatrical collaborations and interior design.
Her work is held in numerous private and museum collections and she is a 2005-2006 Artist Trust and Washington State Arts Commission Fellow.
