The Belknap Exhibit Center at the Bowman Museum is proud to present Soul of the Land, a special quilt and textile art exhibit by renowned Oregon artist June Jaeger. This inspiring exhibition celebrates the deep connection between art, nature, and the landscapes of Central Oregon.

A fifth-generation Oregonian, June Jaeger was born in Prineville and raised in Redmond, where the region’s wide-open spaces, wildlife, and natural beauty shaped her artistic voice. Influenced by a lifelong relationship with horses and the outdoors, Jaeger works as a pattern designer, painter, quilter, and author. She creates her work primarily by hand, continuing to draw and design without the use of computers, valuing the authenticity and personal connection of traditional techniques.

Jaeger’s work has been featured in regional, national, and international exhibitions and has earned numerous awards. She has also spent 45 years teaching textile arts, inspiring generations of students through her passion for creativity and learning.

Visitors to Soul of the Land will experience richly detailed quilts and textile pieces that reflect the rhythm, spirit, and soul of the land we call home.
