Featured Artists
For the month of March, our featured artist is Karen Miller. Her show runs now through March 28, with a First Friday reception from 6:00-8:00 pm on Friday Mar 6.
More about Karen’s work: “I was inspired after our January emphasis on birds of prey to look into my stencil library for any Japanese patterns featuring birds. I found many. They will show up in scrolls, runners, and scarves. The Japanese seem to especially love cranes, swallows and sparrows. In fact the very first stencil I ever cut, 30 years ago, was a pair of cranes. For this show I took that old stencil and made a new piece titled ‘Night Flight.’
I really consider myself a printmaker, where much of the skill comes in the making of the stencil tool, just as other printmakers would do with a woodblock or an engraving plate. So imagine my surprise when I discovered how much fun I could have making fabric sculpture birds! I started with recognizable birds, and then modified the pattern and began inventing birds. Each bird has its own personality, and they make me happy!”
