LEADERSHIP
| 2008-2010 MoFA Board | |||
| PRESIDENT :: Judy Cobillas | |||
 |
Judy Cobillas lives in the St. Louis County area of Missouri. She received her B.A. and M.A. in St. Louis as well. Her life-long interest in multicultural arts and traditions has played an important role in her work and her personal life. She has had the opportunity to travel to Japan, Italy and Mexico. The richness of these experiences is developed in her fiber work as well as in the classes she teaches. She concentrates primarily on surface design, reconstructing the cloth before it is finished into art quilts, but never limits her opportunities to work in other fiber mediums. |

| TREASURER :: Erika Heinlein | |||
 |
Erika Heinlein is serving her third 2-year term as MoFA's Treasurer. She was introduced to and fell in love with weaving in an elective class at Oregon State University, but it wasn't until she moved to Missouri and received a loom as a Christmas gift that she began a journey from hobby weaving to a business with four floor looms. Heinlein is mainly a production weaver, but she also dabbles in spinning, felting, beading, dyeing, surface design and is trying her hand at mixed media. At the 2004 MoFA Conference, she received the Handweaver's Guild of America Award of Excellence for a felted picture she entered in MoFA's gallery show. treasurer@missourifiberartists.com |

 |
In 1989 Bonnie Ahrens discovered the world of fiber art, primarily in the area of felting, and has since taken instruction with some of the leading felt makers from the United States and abroad. To take raw fibers from an animal to a completed project, whether it is a wearable fashion such as a hat, an inspirational wall piece or a floor rug to cushion one's feet, gives her a feeling of accomplishment. |
