I’m happy to say that some of my recent, never before displayed work is being exhibited this summer! Also pleased to get more eyes on a piece that was only exhibited online during the pandemic.
So here’s the work I’m showing this summer. if you’d like to purchase any of these, please contact the galleries directly! In breaking news, I just learned that my embroidered books, below, were juried into the international Art of the Book show in Rochester, NY this Fall. More to follow as the show approaches.
Cut and Paste: At the Irma Freedman Center for the Imagination, Pittsburgh, PA.
Through July 7th, 2023.
Forsythia. H: 9 inches W: 12 inches. Acrylic painted elements collaged onto paper with machine sewing. For the show, I framed this in floating glass, so there are gorgeous red threads floating down below the collage.
This piece was the culmination of many years of watching forsythia bloom in early spring, on the corner of West Houston and LaGuardia Place in Manhattan. I made many previous attempts to capture the feeling of it, but I think this is the one that did it for me.
“Absence/Presence”: 12 inches square. Monotypes collaged onto paper. I wrote about this piece here.
“Deer Dreaming” - H: 10 inch, W:20 inch. This is a gate-fold triptych, acrylic paint, watercolor, fabric, sequins and gems. I chose a floating glass frame for this one too, and I realize I’m biased but — it looks most beautiful! Here’s an Instagram post which shows the art journal spread which inspired this piece, back when I was [more] involved in social media. :) This piece was previously exhibited in Raices Taller’s Art of Paper show in late 2021.
[a]Mending Culture, at Ketchup City Creative, Pittsburgh PA.
Fiesta Flora, 10 x 10 inches. Embroidery and applique on vintage handkerchief, mounted on canvas. I wrote about the inspiration behind this piece here.
