Two Traveling Exhibitions
With two of my art pieces at the festival!
“Sunset Among the Tree” 20×20
The “Bob Ross” Cherrywood challenge exhibit
“The Coral World” 30×50
The “A Better World” exhibit
The International Quilt Festival opens on October 31, and runs through November 3, 2019. I am honored to be part of both these traveling exhibits. Every year I try to make at least one small quilt, and I did with the “Sunset Among the Trees” 20″x 20″ for the Bob Ross juried exhibition. I then was invited to participate in the juried exhibit “A Better World,” I accepted the challenge to create a large quilt the “Coral World” a 30″ x 50.” Large quilts are a bit out of my comfort zone, but because the theme was so important to me I had to try. I am glad that I did!
The exhibition “A Better World,” honors hero’s who are making or made a difference in our world. I choose to honor the movie makers of “Chasing Coral” which is educating the public about the plight of the coral reef (the movie can be found on Netflix.) I am glad that I also participated in the Bob Ross exhibit because for me it honors a man who made a difference in bring art to households through out the world.
If you are attending the festival I hope you get a chance to go by and see them, and make sure you check the schedules for the meet and greet, and hopefully we will meet.
