Wallpaper design and patterning have influ- enced Kruger’s work since her training in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technol- ogy in New York City. She has taught, lectured, and exhibited her artwork in museums and gal- leries throughout Mexico and the United States since the 1980s. Kruger maintains studios in the vibrant art community of Durham, NC, and in
the lakeside village of Chapala, Mexico. Her art practice balances making objects of beauty that convey layered meaning about habitat fragmen- tation, bird migration, species extinction, and loss of indigenous languages.
