American born fiber artist Sheila Hicks received her BFA and MFA from Yale University. In 1957 she received a Fulbright scholarship to Chile for painting, and it is there that she discovered her divine interest in fiber arts. Hicks' scale of work ranges from intimate to monumental, with bright hues of fiber intertwined to create elaborate masterpieces. "Wow Bush/Turmoil in Full Bloom" is a commissioned piece of hers from 1980 located in Paris, France. It is just one of many commissioned pieces that she has done. Others have been located in Mexico, The United States, and Tokyo, Japan.
