Center Gallery, Anaheim, CA - Expressions in Fiber Art Reception

I belong to Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists, a great group of creative fiber artists in Southern California.  Our works range from art quilts, large and small, to dimensional fiber art will be featured from May 1 through June 19, 2017,  at the Center Gallery in Anaheim, CA.  If you happen to be in the Anaheim area during that time period, I hope you will stop by to visit the gallery.

Here is a special invitation to the artists' reception for you.

There will be food, drinks, presentations and a chance to meet the artists.

 

 Here are a few pictures of what one of my studio worktables looks like as I gather the items that will travel to the show. in Anaheim.

Hope to see you at the reception.

"Textile Translations"

This work was created in response to the theme, "Put a Bird on It," for Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists, a group of which I am a member.   We were accepted, and presently have a group show, at the Rancho Buena Vista Adobe Art Gallery in Vista, California.

"Call to the Heart"

This work stems from a very deep love for my father and how much I miss him every day of my life.  My statement on the label reads:

 "I love you and I'll see you tomorrow", my father said as he kissed me goodbye. As we hugged, a crow called out from its perch atop a telephone wire. There was no tomorrow. An accident took my father's life. From that fateful day forward, when I see and hear a crow utter its call, I hear, "I love you and I'll see you tomorrow." Yes, Daddy. I'll see you tomorrow."



Having the good fortune to not only belong to Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists but to also have my work included in the Rancho Buena Vista Adobe Art Gallery is definitely the highlight of this month for me.

Next week I'll post more photos of the exhibit.

If you are in the vicinity of North County San Diego, hope you have a chance to drop into the show.

Shaped by Fiber II

It has been a great honor to have several of my dimensional fiber art works on exhibit with the Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists at the Mission Viejo Library in Southern California for the month of February, 2016.   My excitement overflowed when I saw that three of my included works were shown first in a tremendous video that Laura and Luke Bisagna created. 

To view the video click on this LINK.

If you happen to be in the Orange County area, you might want to stop in at the Mission Viejo Library at 100 Civic Center, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.  The exhibit will be shown until February 2016.

A description of the exhibit is:

"An artistic eye is unique to each individual artist.  The subject matter is created from the artist's life experiences, their artistic style, and how they see the world.  the fiber art in this exhibition shows the diversity of each artist, as seen through each artist's eye."
