Guilford Art League Member Show 2019

I've been a member of Guilford Art League for about a year.  Recently, I decided to show some of my work with the group for the very first time.  Each year, the group organizes member shows at local venues and also sponsors a juried exhibition at the art center.  You can read more about Guilford Art League here: Guilford Art League

For the recent show at Guilford Free Library, artists were welcomed to enter work in all mediums, but especially encouraged to submit pieces that featured the color blue or the "idea" of blue.  I immediately thought of the modern tapestry I made with blue New York Times plastic bags.  It fit the theme and the size requirements for the show, so I decided to go for it.

I was able to attend the opening reception it was SO cool to see so many blue-themed things together. 

 My piece was a bit unusual - it wasn't in one of the more typical art mediums you'd expect to find at an art show - but I took a chance when I submitted, and I was more than pleasantly surprised that my tapestry made a strong showing.

Thanks for checking out my blog.  Stop back soon!
