The Dunedin Fine Arts Center, in Dunedin, FL is currently bursting with several EXTRAORDINARY collections of fiber art! For starters, take a look at the work of Lorraine Turner.
This is her piece Unbridled Sea Horses.
Now, take a look at the ABUNDANCE of texture she’s added with doilies, sheer fabrics, and such. Amazing, right?
She calls this quilt Three Bankers.
Again, what detail!
As you can tell, Lorraine is passionate about wild animals and she often dreams about them. Wind Whisperers focuses on wild wolves.
And here’s Calico Messengers.
Lorraine’s work is a good example of why artists love to work with fabric. She clearly “paints with fabric,” and the additional texture puts it over the top.
Her work, along with quite a few other exhibits can be seen through August 18th, 2019. If you’re on the west coast of Florida this summer, a trip to the Dunedin Center for Fine Arts is well worth your while.
