My art quilt, "Sanctuary" is now published in a catalog of the 2009-10 traveling exhibit with the theme of "Home". Next stop for this show is the Perrysburg, OH Arts Council exhibit space in May.
What does this have to do with art? Not much - except that one of my best ways to do my personal best work is to go away and not look at my current project or think about it for a while; then to come back and look at it afresh.
Here's a photo from the U.N. Global Fund website showing part of our exhibit. There will be more pictures added when the show comes to Denver at the end of this month.
This piece is for the Mancuso show in Denver the last weekend in April. I have some top stitching left to do on the tree leaves, then I need to put together the layers.
This is an element for a foliage montage piece for the SAQA exhibit at the Denver Mancuso show in April. Updates to follow; the piece is coming along wonderfully well considering I'm teaching myself a couple new techniques.
The worst snowstorm in many years has hit. Rudely enough, this is hampering the U.N.'s Quilt Art exhibit in the Rayburn Congressional Building, in which I have a piece.
This will be rescheduled and I'm checking on that to see when.
Update on the United Nations exhibit: my art quilt as well as the other fifteen in the show will be on display at the Congressional Building in Washington D.C. February 8th and 9th. For more info, go to www.quiltchallenge.org See quilt in the post below.
My "Symbols of Life" entry was featured in Geneva, Switzerland in the United Nations Convention exhibit for the Global Fund in the month of November 2009, and will continue to travel with the show throughout the U.S. in 2010 with the Mancuso shows. The next venue will probably be in the Senate Office building, D.C., in February '10, so check back - I'll keep updating.
My piece entitled "Sanctuary" is being shown at the Plymouth Community Arts Council, Plymouth, Michigan for the month of January. This show will continue to travel for the year 2010.
