Current exhibitions

My time keeps flying by and it has been too long 

since I have added to this blog.

These images are of work at or going to current exhibitions.

My FICTIONAL FANTASY, below, is now in the Dreams exhibit at the

Page-Walker Arts and History Center in Cary, NC

 And, this is the announcement card, front and back.

 New Image Artists are now showing at Capital One in 

Tysons Corner, VA.

My NOT ALWAYS GREEN is included as well as

CATCHING THE MOMENT below.

This is an older piece that I have always liked.

Although the magnolia blossoms die

within one day I have added the embroidered leaves 

to indicate their aging by the color changes, from a bright green

 to a deep coppery color.

Much of this piece has 3D parts along with some insects.

 The Creative Crafts Council of Virginia, Maryland and DC

has an upcoming event of all crafts. This exhibition will be 

at Strathmore Mansion in North Bethesda, MD

From June 1 to July 31, 2019

My GATHERING IN will be in this exhibit.  

It is a two panel work that I finished in 2018

These are EYES for another show that will take place 

this summer in DC.

The measurements are 5 inches by 23 inches.

Machine embroidery on cotton.

Now I must get out and walk around to enjoy all 

the blooming trees and bushes before I return to the studio.

Shows on now during the month of May

My element, Cadmium is in the Radical Elements show 

until it ends here on May 9.

I feel that this exhibit ought to be shown in 

every science gallery or museum 

as it is a blending of art and science.

 A detail above showing the paint colors associated with cadmium.

 This Radical Elements exhibit showcases 40 artists,

 each with a different element to render any way they desire.

Each piece is the same size, 36 by 22 inches. 

Artists were encouraged to use everything but fabric and thread.
