Quilts Inspired from Down Under - A Solo Exhibit by Bonnie Murphy
Main GalleryBonnie’s quilting journey began about 35 years ago when visiting a small Amish town near Massillon, Ohio with her grandmother, a very skilled seamstress who encouraged Bonnie’s love of fabrics and sewing. Immediately impressed with the hand-quilting Bonnie wanted to try it! The conversion from garment sewing to quilt making was slow until retirement, when Bonnie jumped in full speed. Drawn to reproduction fabrics and patterns based on historical quilts from the 19th century, Bonnie began to notice most of her quilts were designed by Australian designers, Di Ford Hall, Margaret Mew, Susan Smith and Sandy Cousins, just to name a few! Although she hand quilted her first quilts, Bonnie discovered she loved the look of machine quilting and found some very talented ladies who now longarm quilt her creations. As time has passed, Bonnie’s techniques, style and color pallets have broadened and she finds the journey to be endless – always having another quilt in mind.
The Grandeur of the Moment - A Solo Exhibit by Linda Anderson
Northeast GalleryLinda Anderson tells compelling stories of people in many cultures around the world, many images gathered from her travels. Everyone, everywhere, has a story. Her realistic depictions celebrate the ordinary moments of people doing what they do that often go unnoticed, capturing the essence of the humanity we all share. Facilitating that connection visually and highlighting the splendor of the commonplace is her goal. Working in her studio in Eugene, Oregon, she uses fabric, paint and thread to create stitched paintings full of texture and strong visual impact. Her use of simple graphic elements juxtaposed with intricate details mark her approach to composition. Rich colors and strong value contrast catch the viewers’ attention, which draws them in to discover a myriad of subtlety created with delicate brushwork and stitching.
Exhibits are developed multiple ways.
Call for Entries (CFE)
One way an exhibition is developed is through a Call for Entries (CFE). CFE exhibits are when an exhibit hall sets requirements for an exhibit, then puts out a call for potential exhibitors to enter their work as a possible entrant to the exhibit. Anyone who meets the established requirements can enter and many artists get their first opportunity to exhibit in this fashion. Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum presents Calls for Entries on a regular basis and currently has 2 CFE exhibits on the schedule in the next 2 years. See details of scheduled CFE's
