World Chess Hall of Fame, Featured Chess Set, Travel Chess Set

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. 

 

Saint Louis Artists’ Guild is Open!

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!

 

Foundry Arts Centre – Context III

Look closely to see silk thread weaving and micro crochet.

Levi Sherman is the juror for this exhibit. Perhaps we can hear him speak at the Foundry. Context III runs through June 19. Maybe we will be out of quarantine?

Foundry Arts Centre – Voting Daughters

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Foundry has postponed a reception. A closing reception is planned, the date not yet determined.

Since this post was made on March 16, 2020, The Foundry Arts Centre has closed until further notice. Check the website. We would all like to be out and about seeing all the wonderful art that is usually in our lives. Safety first!

Studio Art Quilt Associates, SAQA, offers another important exhibit, Musica!, at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah. Kacey Cowdery’s fiber art wearable, “Music of Morse” has been juried into this prestigious show. Joe Cunningham is our juror.

Big Deal !!! Big Deal !!! Big Deal !!! Big Deal !!!

Ladue News & St. Louis Artists' Guild !!!!

Serendipity, Good Luck, Talent?!

“Infected”, the fiber art piece here, was selected for the Ladue News, Art and Soul feature. In their January 4, 2019 issue it was nearly a full page picture. My bio was right there too. Many thanks to Brian Hollerbach of Ladue News! He tells me it is his genuine pleasure and honor, through Art and Soul, to introduce their tens of thousands of readers to talented visual artists in the metro area.

Simultaneously, “Infected” was accepted into the Saint Louis Artists’ Guild’s exhibit, Ann Metzger National  Biennial Exhibition. This is always a very competitive show. I was very pleased to have my work accepted. Thank you to the juror, Sarah Klemm.

“Infected” 74″H x 58″W, was inspired by the state of our environment. Its allusion to land and seascapes, blemished by invasive material, brought to my mind, how we misuse our planet.
