I recently enjoyed a visit to Harrisonburg, VA, to see the “Let the Sun Shine In” exhibit. The artists in this exhibit are all members of Studio Art Quilt Associates, and I am one of them. Here I am with my piece, Florida Native #2. It was made with commercial fabrics and one that I created with breakdown printing. The vein shadows were created with black tulle.
That’s Mary Ritter’s Tea Time hanging behind my shoulder.
I estimate about 30 quilts were in the exhibit, and they were all displayed well.
Partial list of makers, L-R: unknown (1,) Mary Ritter, Ellen Lindner, Jayne Gaskins, unknown. I’m sorry that I didn’t note all the makers of these quilts. If you see yours, please let me know and I’ll add the info.
This piece, by Paula Dean, had a great sense of light. It’s called Brighter Days…Just Around the Corner.
Paula used a wonderful array of techniques to create texture. This was very compelling and it drew you in for closer scrutiny.
Jenny Perry used strong colors to make her striking piece, Lac Le Jeaune Sunrise.
I’ll show you more images in the next post.
By the way, this exhibit runs just a few more days – through December 23rd, 2022.
