Golden Threads and Paper Creations
A 6-Week Exhibition at Spectrum Gallery, Centerbrook, Ct

Golden Threads and Paper Creations, a new exhibition celebrating the expressive possibilities of fiber and paper. From delicate paper compositions to sculptural fiber pieces, this exhibition reveals the many ways artists shape texture, structure, and form. Visitors will discover both wall works and handcrafted pieces that reflect the versatility and artistry of these materials.

If you have a chance to check out this exhibit...it is worth the trip! The exhibit is very nice, and the Gallery is bright, airy, and welcoming. I have 4 fiber art pieces in the show, 3 of my own, and one done in collaboration with Melanie Johnston!
