Silk To Dye For Exhibit

2

The Silk Painter’s of Atlanta are exhibiting right now at the South East Fiber Arts Alliance space downtown. My friend Hellenne Vermillion had several pieces in the show so I took one of my daughters with me to see it today.

Many people think of wearables when they think of silk, and this piece called Luna by Margaret Agner is a wonderful example. (It’s also laid out on the exhibit card above where you can see how it fans out beautifully at the ends.)

There were also many pieces by Martha Andreatos. I loved the colors of the silk in this piece and how they are tiled together like a roof.

This is another stunning piece from Martha.

And this is a piece from Hellenne Vermillion. She has added a lot of hand stitching in this piece. I fear that the reflectiveness of the silk combined with the broad value range were too much for the camera on my iPhone — it doesn’t do the piece justice.

This is one of Hellenne’s silk masks. She forms a clay mask and covers it with silk. This was my daughter’s favorite piece.

This is another one of Hellenne’s pieces displayed on a canvas. I just love the heat coming off this one.

This is another piece by Martha, also painted silk on a canvas. It has a very luminous feel to it.

Contemplative Figure by Martha Andreatos $450

And finally, another piece from Margaret. I love the playfulness of this one. It is a silk wrap hung vertically on the wall with pins. It would be stunning draped on someone’s shoulders.

Octopus Smiles by Margaret Agner $150

All of the work included in the exhibit was beautiful. Silk is such a vibrant medium and holds the color so well.

Please contact the artist individually if you are interested in their work.

I have two pieces, Amelia Earhart and Beach Guardians, in the Georgia Artists exhibit being shown at the Abernathy Arts Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The reception is tonight 6:30-8:30. I am honored to be included in such a wonderful show. The talent of the other Georgia artists is incredible. Last year, my favorite piece was a bronze sculpture of a huge wing that sat on a pedestal & could be rotated. I can’t wait to see the work included for this year.
