Mark & Teri Craven

Mark and Teri are a creative duo who market themselves as Pops and Momma Rose Art. Teri, an accomplished quilter and garment maker of 45 years was nicknamed “Momma Rose” by her grandchildren. Mark, a retired businessman, went back to school at 65 where he acquired his nickname of “Pops” as the oldest art student at UNCG. Mark and Teri met six years ago and discovered their mutual love of art and being creative.  Mark is an accomplished sculptor and painter who fell in love with fiber arts when his new wife introduced him to quilting. When they discovered the Gees Bend Quilters of Alabama in 2017, this creative duo launched their passion for wonky, improv and whimsical quilting. Their improv art quilts are meant for hanging as art and most often smaller pieces are matted and framed as fine art. Their work is best described as abstract painting with fabric. Pops and Momma Rose take the art and craft of quilting “beyond the bed”.
