Let's keep this Hive Buzzing!
Our next featured artist for the "Bee" Intrigued Exhibit, now showing at Green Door Art Gallery is Fiber and Jewelry artist Carla Duncan. Carla brings the world of Felting and Mixed Media the beauty of Bees. Her mixture of fibers, natural materials, and found ephemera provides us another way to "Bee" inspired by the vision of a bee's life.
Let's learn more about Carla in her own words ...
It all started with a picture seen on Pinterest. Five tubes covered with hand-stitched fabric in a corner of an art gallery in an international fiber show. Later, when I was getting ready for my first show with another felter, I created three felted prototype tubes destined for a tall wall between our family room and kitchen.
My husband and I decided to improve on the tube concept by trimming the back off, allowing it to hug the wall.
After several years of putting fabric on tall tubes, I started putting painting on canvas on tubes. A friend asked me to explain one of my abstract tube paintings, and then asked me to paint a giraffe on a tube for her, and my animal line was born. I love how lifeโs twists and turns take us places we could have never dreamed of going. Thank you, life, for that!
Each tube painting is treated for conservation purposes. Tubes are wired to hang down, taking up a small footprint in a hallway with a high visibility impact, and they may be hung horizontally as well and look great over a sofa.
Felt, nunofelt, acrylic paintings, giclรฉe fine art prints, cold wax & oil, and sometimes a combination of several mediums all adorn my tubes.
Green Door Art Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Save the Date for the "Bee" Intrigued Opening Reception on Friday, August 7th, and our Artists' Talk on Thursday, August 13th. Stop by and see what the "Buzz" is all about! ๐
