“Growth” Exhibit: Part Two

Continuing with the great art included in the “Growth” exhibit, these pieces (L-R) were made by Annette Boncek and Marianne Williamson.

The piece on the left, below, is one of my favorites, by Maggie Dillon.  The one on the right was made by Jann Warfield.

(L-R) these 2D pieces were made by Becky Stack, Gretchen Brooks, and Loreen Leedy. The 3D piece in the foreground was sitting on a pedestal and it was made by Annette Boncek.

One of my favorite pieces in the show was this one, by Pam Lowe.

I really like the round shapes against the ripples of vertical hand quilting.

I’ve now shown you all the quilts hanging on the outside perimeter of the room.  But, there’s still more to see!  In the next post, I’ll show you the pieces hanging on the interior partition.

P.S. I’d love it if the artists shown would comment on this post and tell us more about their pieces, (including titles.)

    Thanks for posting the pics and the link to see more. The SAQA members are always so inspiring. I was happy to see my good friend Patricia Turner’s pieces in the show.

    Thanks for letting everyone see the show, Ellen. My piece is the one with the alligator, titled “Good day, sunshine!” It depicts an example of the lush sub-tropical environment of Florida whose growth is supported by the heavy rains and endless sunshine.

    What great photos of the show. I was so pleased to have both my 2-d work “Rooted in Spirit “ a comment on the hope we can remain connected to the earth and “Urban Maul” the 3d work commented about man’s intrusion on the environment in the show.
    I really loved all the work shown in the beautiful Dunedin Center

      Yes, Annette, it was a wonderful show. I’m very proud of our Florida SAQA members!

    Thanks for showing these pictures on your blog, Ellen. My quilt “Mourning the Small Town Lost in the Hungry City” shows a crane with a hi-rise hovering over four historic buildings of downtown. All of the buildings are in downtown Sarasota. Unfortunately, the scale is very close to correct. I guess there is no question of how I feel about it!

      Hi Jann,

      Thanks for telling me and my readers more about your quilt. It conveys your message very well!
