Mastery: Sustaining Momentum Opens at the Dairy Barn Arts Center

It was an exciting week.  Mastery: Sustaining Momentum, an exhibit curated by Nancy Crow, opened at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio on May 27th.  The exhibit runs through November 27, 2016.  Twelve artist are represented by three major works each.  The work is consistently stunning.  In addition, each artist has several small works which present some of the processes of designing the larger works. I am honored to be a part of this exhibit.

The Cutting Edge, quilts by members of Washington's Contemporary QuiltArt Association, can be seen at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma, Washington now through August 21, 2016.
