Seven female artists from California will come together for the first time to exhibit a vibrant new exhibition of contemporary fiber, fabric, and mixed media artwork at the Wilbur D. May Museum. The summer exhibition will include wall art and 3D objects that explore the versatility of fiber and fabric as a medium. Each artist’s unique and meticulous style is represented in captivating works that are stitched, dyed, painted, printed, stamped, waxed, fused, and embellished. Visitors will have an opportunity to appreciate and purchase the hand-made original work.
The exhibiting artists are: Lin Schiffner, Sandra Poteet, Kris Sazaki, Deb Cashatt, Martha Wolfe, Denise Oyama Miller, Linda Waddle – all of Nevada County, California. This is their first exhibition as a group, but they have all shown individually at national and international venues.
