A fabulous reveal of Marg’s smARTies photo art collaboration! Impressive creative interpretations of colour texture and pattern in each piece brings the scene to life. The tractors and flowers photo was taken by Karen at Hazeldell Orchards last summer and was the inspiration for these works of art. So excited to see it all come together. Each artist received a quarter section of the photograph earlier this year, unaware of what the rest of the photo looked like.
The instructions: create a fibre masterpiece. 16 artists. 2 photos cut into 4 quadrants each X 2 Congratulations to all participants! Text by Karen Blumel |
Valentines Day

Cut out valentines from your free motion practice piece

Good ideas on site I found a quilted heart
or make a large cuddle pillow for Hospice

Our smARTies Artistic Mission reached a climax at the quilt show with the unveiling of the two completed panel assemblies: the colours and the neutrals. The display at the entrance to the quilt show caught the attention and interest of our visitors, and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Congratulations to the creators of these masterpieces! Watch for their next appearance at the Creativity and Aging Symposium at the RCA on June 19, and at ArtWalk in September. Scroll down for a closer look! Click on each panel for more detailed explanations from the artists who created these stunning pieces.
