ARTIST STATEMENT

AJ Grossman is a painter and quilter whose work explores the dynamic interplay of lines, movement, and rhythm. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City with an AAS in Design, AJ began her creative journey in fashion illustration and design. This early career shaped her attention to detail and her fascination with pattern and structure, which continue to define her artistic practice.

AJ’s lifelong obsession with lines and stripes is the driving force behind her work. She embraces the challenge of making order out of disorder, using line as a language to express direction, flow, and energy. Her process is both meticulous and intuitive: each piece begins with taped patterns that evolve organically, creating intricate designs that suggest motion or optical illusions.

Through her art, AJ invites viewers to consider the transformative power of simple elements—lines and patterns—to create complex, engaging visual narratives.
