Art 4 the body + 4 the soul at the Willoughby Wallace Library

The Branford Artists Cooperative is pleased to announce 4 the body + 4 the soul, an art exhibition with member artists Rita Brieger and Owen Sea Luckey at the Willoughby Wallace Library in Stony Creek. Sponsored by the Friends of Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, the exhibit runs from January 1 through January 25, 2012, with an Opening Reception on Sunday, January 8 from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. (Snow date: January 15, same times)

Together, Rita and Owen present a collection of work that defines the figure in bold and abstract impressions. But their use of color and pattern reach beyond the physical confines of paint and textile, creating movement, feeling, and soul.

Rita is an abstract painter who combines color, texture and emotions on canvas. Working in both acrylic and oil, she uses her craft to present the soulful contradictions of life. The bright colors, bold movements and layers of intentions communicate to the viewer in ways words cannot. “A work of art is a reflection of the soul print of the artist,” she says.

Owen is a textile artist who combines hand knitting and sewn accessories to create one-of-a-kind pieces using sumptuous yarns, custom dyed wools, silk velvets and beaded trims. While the lines and structure of her creations are familiar—a sweater, a scarf, a hat—she pushes the boundaries of what you expect, incorporating holes, bright pops of color, and funky embellishments. “I love to create one-of-a-kind pieces that people can’t wait to wear,” Owen says. She is a founding member of the Branford Artists Cooperative, which supports emerging and established artists and promotes the arts in the town of Branford.

The Friends of the Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library is a non-profit volunteer organization that actively promotes community participation in library programs and supports the library’s growth and development.

The Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library is located at 146 Thimble Islands Road, Stony Creek, CT. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit www.wwml.org or www.branfordartistscooperative.com

A Chicken needs to be warm too!

Happy New Year.

Ella and Kathy get cozy.

As a present to my In laws this Christmas, I decided to make them a set of 6 chicken hats based on my signature

line of hats with points. Ella decorated the egg carton and together we have embarked on a line of chicken accessories.

Apparently all the Kathy's love them!

Stay tuned for more...
