Kristi O'Meara is a painter and graphic designer, as well as being one of the founders of The Patternbase, a textile and design studio in Chicago. Kristi has also just completed her first publication, The Pattern Base: over 550 contemporary textile and surface designs. Kristi produces a range of homeware including cushions, bags and robes in daring and other-worldly patterns.

In The Pattern Base, Kristi O'Meara and Audrey Victoria Keiffer, cofounders of the Chicago-based design studio and online archive The Patternbase, showcase more than 550 textile, surface, fashion, and print designs from over 150 designers working around the world. Part One is a sourcebook of these designs, organized by type of pattern: Geometric, Floral, Representational, Digital Abstract, Illustrative, and Fabric Swatches. Part Two presents profiles of fifteen artists, constituting the hottest up-and-comers in the field, including Lorenzo Nanni, whose delicate beadwork conjures the natural world's flora and fauna; Anita Hirlekar, whose felt, velvet, and lace work create luscious variations of texture; and Kayla Mattes, mistress of kitsch aesthetics and material experimentations.

The Department of Drama/Dance is housed in a fine, multi million dollar performing arts complex which includes three theatre/dance performance spaces and television/radio studios.
