VAL Member Meeting + Art TalkWhen: March 11, 7 pm
Guest Speaker: Marilyn Henrion
Topic: The Evolution of a Fiber Artist
Join us for an inspiring evening featuring award-winning fiber artist, Marilyn Henrion!
The presentation will trace Marilyn Henrion’s journey as a fiber artist and mother of four through the wild ’50’s and ’60’s at the heart of a historic period in the New York art and literary scene up to her continuing creative explorations in Texas as she approaches the age of 93.
At home with both abstract and more representational imagery, her works reflect on the intricate interplay of color, form, and texture. Hand quilting coupled with digitally manipulated photography utilizes modern technology while at the same time honoring traditional fine craftsmanship.
