FAD Group Exhibit

The FAD Group installed our 4th annual exhibit at the Midwest City Library on Sunday afternoon. The exhibit will be on display until August 29th so if you are in the area I hope you will have the opportunity to see it in person. Charlotte, Lynn, and Carla (pictured above) helped me install the artwork on the wall behind them and the three display cases on the opposite wall.

The gallery wall photos were taken before the spotlights were turned on. Above are two pieces by Marie Miller on the left which are hand embroidered on silk painted fabric. The two on the right were made by Charlotte Hickman and are hand painted and quilted.

This is "Just Jugs" made by Marilu Benton Schwetz. It's made from appliqued cotton fabric and machine quilted.

This quilt is "Dogwood Flowers 2" made by Charlotte Hickman.

"Sunflower" a quilt made by Charlotte Hickman.

"Another Place In Time" and "Ancient Sanctuary" felted pieces made by me.

These pieces, "In Kandinsky Time" and "Storytime" are two more of my felted pieces at the end of the gallery wall.

We had three lighted display cases to showcase our work. Above is a close up of Jean Ann Fausser's Temptress in a Teapot series. "Tina" and "Cher" are shown above with one of the posters Jean Ann provided. She has wonderful photos and explainations on her website.

This is a full view of Jean Ann's teapots. From left to right and top to bottom are "Josephine" (Josephine Baker), "Tina" (Tina Turner), "Cher", "Madonna", and "Janis" (Janis Joplin).

The center display case holds oil paintings by Carla Houston. She is our renegade member because she hasn't been working with fiber. That's OK we love her anyway and enjoy her paintings. I need to get a close up shot of Carla and Stephanie's display case so you can see them better.

These felted and knotted pieces are made by Stephanie Grubbs. Of course, these photos don't do them justice so that's another good reason to see the exhibit in person!

You can see more artwork by Carla Houston, Stephanie Grubbs, Jean Ann Fausser, Marie Miller and myself on OVAC's website in the artists virtual gallery pages.
