Sedona Arts Center — New Featured Exhibition at Sedona Arts Center!

Inspiration rises from exploring rich color and texture combinations. Initially I was enamored with color, but one day color simply wasn’t enough. My newest work involves using inclusions, Shibori techniques and differential shrinkage to create rich, unique textures. In addition to Nuno felt, I use hand-dying, needle felting and bead embroidery to compliment the tactile and visual narratives of each piece of wearable art.

Karen is a visual artist playing with light, color, heat and glass. Part of her joy of working in the studio each day is combining positive and uplifting intentions with the creative inspirations she feels.  This helps to infuse more meaning into her work.Over the years she has developed and refined many of her own techniques involving color combinations, glass combinations, hot-glass manipulation, custom findings, wire wrapping, wire embedding, grinding, and fire polishing which she believes gives her jewelry creations a unique look and feel.

Janet paints more still life than anything, but probably because the models are not too shy to pose!  Her inspiration can come from just about anything- whether its light, color combinations, or something beautiful.  Regardless of the subject, you can expect lots of color and fine detail.  Janet says  as long as she can lift her hand, she will continue to paint.

Proceeds from this ongoing event will go to the Sedona Food Bank, Sedona Community Center, Humane Society of Sedona, Verde Valley Santuary, and educational programs at Sedona Arts Center.
