"Boundless" - Mounted Fiber Art Exhibit

As promised in my previous post, I revisited the beautiful Cerritos Library in Cerritos, California, and captured photographs of the Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists exhibit of  quilted fiber art mounted on 18" x 36" canvases.   I cannot say enough how honored I am to be a member of this group of highly gifted artists.  Not only are they artists extraordinaire but they are all genuinely simpatico in every way.

"Shaped by Fiber" and "Boundless" Exhibits

One Sunday, August 2nd, the group "Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists" installed a large exhibit at the magnificent Cerritos Library.  The installation of our art work will be on exhibit for the entire months of August and September, 2015.  If you happen to be in the Cerritos area, I hope you will stop in to visit the exhibit which features not only our 18" x 36" quilted art that is mounted on stretched canvases but also has an array of members' 3D and other fiber art works that fill the main lobby and History Room.  The library is located at:

Cerritos Library

18025 Bloomfield Avenue

Cerritos, CA  90703

One our members, Laura Bisagna, and her super talented videographer husband, Luke, created a great video that features the exhibit with a voiceover of the installation.  You can view this visual treat it at:

Below are a few photographs of the "Boundless" exhibit that were taken and shared by another member, Cynthia Catlin.  I will be visiting the library again soon and hope to take more photos of each mounted quilt in this installation and will share those in a future posting.

"Eye of the Artist" - Beyond the Edge

Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists, a group.in which I am a member, has just installed two tremendous exhibits, the first of which is titled, "Eye of the Artist" and can be seen at::

 Mission Viejo Library 

100 Civic Center Drive

Mission Viejo, CA 92692

949-830-7100

August 1 - 30, 2015

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."

Four of My Works in the Exhibit

Below are close-ups of each of these works.

"Undersea Rhapsody"

"Girl of the Northern Lights"

"Ceremony and Pleasure"

"Dancing Iris"

Tomorrow I will post a second exhibit that was installed at the magnificent Cerritos Library.  It's been a great past couple of weeks.  Working with such talented and genuine people in Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists has been pure joy.
