Janna Mathews is the Sales Manager with Grace Company. She joined the company as an Account Executive and has had the opportunity to work with both customers and dealers across the country. She has a great client and retail background and is committed to taking care of each person she is working with. Janna is dedicated to helping Grace Company grow.
Although not a dedicated quilter herself, she comes from a long line of quilters and has several UFOs she would love to get finished. When she is not at work, Janna is an avid baker and loves bringing in tasty treats to share. Janna can’t wait to talk to you more about all the great ways Grace Company can help your quilting experience.
Kena was introduced to quilting more than 20 years ago in Harlem, NYC. At the time, she was a Broadway actress. Today, she lives in Palmdale, CA where she teaches film and TV production to high school students; she also teaches cinema and multi-camera television studio production as an adjunct professor at a local college.
Early on in her quilting journey, Kena was influenced by many of the Harlem Renaissance artists. Like them, you can see reflections of the African American experience in her work. Her artistic style has become a blend of contemporary, modern improv, and traditional quiltmaking, and portrait art quilts are her favorite. She loves working with Indonesian Batiks, Aftrican Batiks, and African wax print fabrics.
Kena moved from domestic machine quilting to longarm with the Q’nique 19, and she loves it. She teaches in-person and live virtual quilting classes and workshops.
Art Quilting Studio Magazine and Today’s Quilter Magazine have published Kena’s art quilts and African fabric quilts in multiple issues, and her work has also been featured in festivals.
