Biographical Sketch

Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1937, Helenn Rumpel is an internationally renowned fine art and multi-media artist, lecturer, and teacher based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The artisan held many workshops, including an annual retreat to Hermit's Peak, located thirty miles northwest of Las Vegas, New Mexico, that had reached 26 years running. Additionally, Rumpel is a member of Artist Equity, the Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc., and the National Standards Council of American Embroiderers.

She is considered a transitional artist who has transcended needle crafts, from which fine art fiber grew, to establish "a true medium of creative expression like painting or sculpture." The artist had two grown sons and several grandchildren.
