40 West Arts Showcase.

I am so pleased to be a part of 40 West Arts.

Three of my vessels and several pieces of wall art are going to be in the November Members' Showcase. Nov. 4-19th, 2016.  Reception: Friday, Nov. 4th, 5-8p.m.



This is "Prairie Grasses".  Hand painted cotton and pen drawing.  I have had an attachment to the prairie since I was a child and my godmother and parents worked to keep the Big Bluestem from disappearing in Illinois. The Illinois Prairie Path was created and is still used regularly in the suburbs of Chicago, accommodating bicycles, horses and walkers.

 
Prairie Edge
 
This basket shape is nice for coffee tables.  It is made entirely from fabric.  The exterior skin and interior lining are hand painted and finished with a gloss top coat.  Note the beaded top edge.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Prairie Earth is the smallest diameter piece I have made.  Detail of the hand painted fabric.
 
 
We hung the show this morning and there are wonderful pieces by ten  area artists in photography, mixed media, oil, acrylic and collage. The reception is Friday, November 4th, from 5-8 p.m.
 
Here are my wall pieces.
