  • Artist: Rita Burnstein

Originally from New York City, Rita studied theatrical costume design at Pratt Institute before moving to Buffalo. She continued her studies in art at the University of Buffalo and then at Tyler School of Art / Temple University after moving to Philadelphia in 1965.

In 1981, while director of the Art and Activities Department at the Philadelphia Geriatric Center, Rita discovered quilt making. She became a full-time quilt maker since retiring in 1994 and her quilts have been exhibited at many quilt conferences.

In 1999 Rita joined the committee of ArtQuilts at the Sedgwick overseeing the mailing and processing the entry applications.
