Artist Highlight: Victoria Eubanks & Jennifer Ghormley

10/27/2020

Another of my favorite pieces from Pink Progression at the Arvada Art Center in Colorado.

This piece is a collaboration between my friend Victoria Eubanks and Jennifer Ghormley, both teachers at the Art Student's League of Denver.

I was attracted to the 3 layers of transparent fabric that hung from the ceiling and created a visual pattern that changed depending on how you looked at it.

I could look at this for hours, finding new meaning every minute.

The exhibit will close soon, so if you can, go visit! I went back again last Thursday and my sister and I were the only people in this huge space so totally safe!

And very inspiring!

Artist Highlight - Judy Anderson & Ginny Hoyle

The Arvada Center for the Arts curated an exhibit to celebrate 100 years of voting rights for woman. The exhibit is called Pink Progressions: Collaborations.

Given my love of fabric, paper, paint, stitch and texture, this pieces stood out among the 3 pieces I absolutely loved.

The exhibit asked artists to work with one or two other artists to create something supporting the theme. Collaborating during a pandemic had its challenges but the artists rose to the occasion. This was one of the strongest art exhibits I've attended this year.

The exhibit is up until November 8th so if you have a chance, GO! you won't be disappointed. It's free but you need to make a reservation.

We the People

Nari Ward is a New York artist that staged an exhibit in Denver this month.

A powerful statement.

I was blown away walking through his installation with all the discarded strollers.

He uses many media to convey his thoughts and inspiration -- many links to quilts. He also uses shoelaces to spell out words, as in the title of this exhibit.

I would like to meet him some day.
