About

Why this artist matters now

Jennie C. Trein was an American quilter and folk artist from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, who produced over 100 quilts and 63 Moravian putzes, or hand-constructed Nativity scenes, throughout her lifetime. Her work in textile and three-dimensional installation drew from the Moravian religious tradition of her community. Trein's prolific output across both media demonstrates a deep engagement with domestic craft and sacred folk practice.
