SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: "Home Sick"
DESCRIPTION:Feel the Art Effect with a new show: Home Sick\n \n“Home sick or sick of home? This exhibition shares work that captures how the tumultuous events of 2020 have shaped personal experiences and artistic practice and explores how the phrase “Home Sick” can take on multiple meanings in today’s revolutionary climate.” \nI am excited to take part in this innovative exhibition at The Art Effect at the Trolly Barn Gallery\, showing:\nBedTime Story. This work features faces created from clay and gifted to me by my Mom\, the ceramicist Judy Disman. Thus this exhbition theme\, and concept of “home”\, and “home sick” holds a very deep resonance. \n   \nThe Art Effect announces the launch of its new international juried exhibition series and pilot youth museum studies program in 2021. Home Sick is The Art Effect’s inaugural national juried exhibition in its new 3\,000-sq-ft gallery at the Poughkeepsie Trolley Barn in the heart of the City of Poughkeepsie. This exciting exhibition will be on display February 25 – April 1\, 2021. \n“Home Sick will serve as a core component of a pilot program to put youth in the “driver’s seat” leading exhibitions and programming at the Trolley Barn\,” says Executive Director Nicole Fenichel-Hewitt. Youth at the Trolly Barn Gallery \nThe exhibition theme invitese artists to capture how the concept of being “home sick” can take on multiple meanings in light of a tumultuous year such as 2020.  \nCurator Mary-Kay Lombino\, Deputy Director and Emily Hargroves Fisher ’57 and Richard B. Fisher Curator at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center\, Vassar College\, has worked closely with The Art Effect youth to juror the show made up of submissions from around the world. ”We’re very excited to have youth work alongside established curators like Mary-Kay to co-create high-quality exhibitions and develop the skills needed to pursue careers in the art museum field” noted Fenichel-Hewitt. \nSee the HOME Sick opening!\n

SUMMARY:Exhibitionista: Fantastic Fibers 2021 at the Yeiser Art Center
DESCRIPTION:I am honored to be showing in FANTASTIC FIBERS 2021 at the Yeiser Art Center. \n“One of  Yeiser Art Center’s most engaging and innovative international exhibitions\, FANTASTIC FIBERS is showcasing \a wide range of outstanding contemporary works related to the fiber medium.” \nHISTORY:\nThe show began in 1987 as a wearable art show but has evolved over the years to include a compelling mix of traditional and non-traditional works created from natural or synthetic fibers\, and work that addresses the subject or medium of fiber.  Paducah becomes a Mecca for quilters and quilt enthusiasts each April as more than 30\,000 visitors from across the globe attend AQS QuiltWeek.  \nI am showing “PROFUSION”  a sculptural Artists’ Book made of book board\, mulberry paper\, paint\, canvas\, watercolor paper and hemp cord. It stands upright on a pedestal\, shelf\, table or another surface parallel to the floor. When opened\, it can span up to 24.5″ wide \n  \n \n \nJUROR:  Sandra Johnson\n“My quilt journey started over 30 years ago and I continue to be inspired by the myriad of fabrics and techniques learned over time. I am a passionate teacher who encourages students to create unique fabric creations\, whether the end product is a quilt or garment. Creating what is important to the maker is a joyful experience that I try to pass on in my workshops. Wherever you are in your design process my goal is to inspire your creative “genius” and improve your techniques. \nHand sewing with my grandmother started it all. From the beginning\, the process of transforming fabric into art struck me as magical. Sewing was the foundation that led me into quilting. What started as a hobby turned my passion into an artistic reality.\nI love to hand stitch using the traditional Japanese Sashiko and Boro embroidery styles and incorporating them as a decorative feature into my designs. The concrete\, repetitive nature of this work frees my imagination provides many opportunities for happy accidents and grace to influence the finished product.\nMy core materials for quilting are thread and fabric\, however\, I often employ recycled denim\, yarns\, dyed fabrics and stamps to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. I hold a B.S. in Clothing\, Textiles and Design from Arizona State University\, Tempe\, AZ.\nRecently\, I discovered modern quilting: simple\, crayoned patchworks that resonate deeply with my fiber work. Inspired and invigorated by a renewed sense of continuity\, and awed by the mystery of how creation occurs\, my process allows me to explore visions to enable my creative work to evolve and grow.”  \nTOUR THE SHOW!!!!
