Newcomers Art Exhibit

I will be showing my fiber art piece, "St. Patrick" in the Gallery at the Guild in Charlottetown as part of the Newcomers Art Exhibit.  St. Patrick is one of a series of saints, including "St. Michael," "St. Anthony," "Our Lady of Mt. Carmel," and "Our Lady of Guadalupe."  St. Patrick is made of hand-dyed and painted fabric, commercial fabric, embellishments and polymer clay.  Here is a detail photo:
St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, according to legend, and escaped from his Irish captors on a pirate ship.  He later returned to Ireland to convert the Irish to Christianity.  The show opens March 5.

April will also be a busy month for art.  The Open House for my LEAP project at the Clyde River Women's Institute will be held on April 10 at the Riverview Community Center, Clyde River.  My students will be able to show their work that day.  Most will also be hanging their work in a show I am curating which opens April 20 at the Cornwall Library Gallery and runs through mid-May.
