Four Seasons, one in a series inspired by the Jeffersonian Grid of the United States, is a visual depictions of the relationship between farmers and their land. Farmers are acutely aware of how the soil will respond the weather.
They must develop that knowledge and love for their land to invest their time, toil and wealth to raise crops to feed our nation.
Ice dying is easy and the results are fantastic – usually. The results can be steered, however they cannot be controlled. Ice melt meanders at its whim. Actually, results have been good for me, maybe luck? Or maybe it is the willingness to accept a wide range of intriguing colors.
Kacey Cowdery has two pieces selected, 531 items were entered, 96 accepted – thank you! It is a magnificent show, and a great kick-off for the 1st Annual Fiber Art Exhibit at the Kansas City Stockyards Gallery.

“Blue Man Grouper” is whimsical in its title and imagery. However, its message addresses pollution, asking what if air pollution gets so horrible that humans must learn to live under water – not that our waters are all that much better.
Due to COVID 19 we must wash our hands more often and more thoroughly, we must be conscious of keeping them clean and COVID free. What a chore! And it is a scary time.
Stuck at home? Or we can use our hands to make opportunities to do projects that have been put off until we have more time, call friends we have not talked to for a while and create spaces where it is safe to visit in person.
The Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, MO has produced an exhibit addressing this frustrating issue.

What the internet can do for us! Opportunities are just about anywhere.
In 2017, I saw Kozo paper artwork for the first time. Betsy Roe sent her work with small coyote sculptures and a curly background, all made of Kozo paper.
In 2018, Missouri Fiber Artists talked her into giving us a workshop at the MoFA Conference. In three hours she taught us the basics. And she gave us some of the material to take home. A series of Gods and Goddesses of the Winds is my result. Thank you Betsy.
August is Bell Pepper month, appropriate timing for Travel Chess Set to be the Featured Set at the WCHOF – not sure how to pronounce that. We call it the Chess Museum, a small gem in the West End neighborhood of St. Louis.
One hit wonder to have work in a New York City gallery – who knows – but I am thrilled! Viridian Gallery was posted on our MoFA Facebook page. So I gave it a try. Silhouette is in their virtual exhibit, Sanguine Expectations. Additional pieces of my work are on their artist’s page.
Today is the day, June 19, Saint Louis Artists’ Guild has opened its doors to “Clearly Human IV”. This exhibit has been waiting to open – come take a look. Hours are on the website.
Kacey Cowdery’s fiber art wearable is shown in this all media show. Fiber art is making inroads!
