About the Author

Rami Kim is a DNA scientist who turned in her lab coat to become a fabric artist, quilter, and international teacher. She graduated from Seoul National University and the University of California in San Francisco with degrees in chemistry and molecular endocrinology. She then put her scientific talent to work for the Cancer Research Institute at the University of California before her passion and talent in fabric art drastically changed this successful biochemist's career.

Presently the winner of 11 Best of Show awards as well as many other accolades, she has distinguished herself as an innovative and talented fabric artist. Her passion for contemporary art-to-wear, quilts, cloth dolls, bags, and one-of-a-kind home decor designs have won her international recognition. It is her distinctive use of 3-dimensional textures and color and unique interpretation of traditional sewing techniques that give her work and exquisite and fascinating edge.

Rami travels nationally and internationally and has appeared on HGTV's Simply Quilts, sharing her love of fabrics, thread, and technique along with her mega talent for putting them all together. When not traveling she lives with her husband and two daughters in California.
