Rebirth- Combining textiles with paintings, and adding Porcelain sculptures this artistic threesome affirms that nature, art and life are in constant renewal.

Inna Kulagina. The colors of the past summer come to life in the textiles, portraits of people recently met, landscapes, and flowers. Last summer never dies, it is “reborn” through Art - stitched together by positive affirmations combined with traditional symbols in the textile pieces.

Charlene Potter’s small sculptures bring attention to endangered plants, hoping to find their essence, while striving to perfect the porcelain process. Working small, and using less toxic materials she describes her journey as “trying to capture kinetic energy”.

Nicki Byram has woven a series of rug-like wall hangings, each inspired by one of her paintings. Hanging side by side, they ask the viewer to formulate similarities. These weavings are embellished by stitchery and applique. Each deals with natures’ continual “rebirth”.
