Description
Flora & Fauna, a new exhibit of art quilts, comes to Windsor Art Center. The show can be viewed at Windsor Art Center September 21 – November 2, 2024; there will be a reception to meet the artists on Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 until 5:00pm.
The exhibit consists of thirty-two pieces of fiber art created by twenty-six members of the Connecticut Region of the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA). The pieces on display range from realistic to abstract and depict real and imagined plants and animals. Some use plants to create the images; others are created by piecing fabrics together as a form of collage or through more traditional methods, and some use dyes, paints, and/or stitching to create or enhance the image.
Each work was selected, or juried into the exhibit, by Owen Sea Luckey, a Branford artist and entrepreneur with a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. The artists range from internationally known fiber artists to first-time exhibitors and include works from Aurelle Locke of West Granby, CT; Carol J. Vinick of West Hartford, CT; and Karen Kebinger of New Britain, CT.
