Meet MaryJane Millington

Meet MaryJane Millington

I’m MJ Millington, a Stratford, Connecticut-based poet and artist. As a poet I translate the world of the senses—including the visual—into the written word. As an artist working in textiles, photography and book arts, I like to play with the structures and forms of poetry to create works of visual art. My current work is a series of conceptual quilts exploring poetry in textile form, entitled Verse Forms. I’ve exhibited nationally, and my work is in the collections of the Beinecke Library at Yale University, as well as private collections in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, California and New York. In 2018 I was an artist in residence at Trail Wood, in Hampton, CT. www.mjmillington.com".

I'm currently exhibiting my art quilts in the following venues:

• The Edwin Way Teale Artists-in-Residence at Trail Wood Exhibit. Connecticut Audubon Center. Pomfret, CT

• The Arts at Yale Health Inaugural Exhibition. Yale University. New Haven, CT
