Lazy Day South Philly by Margaret Montgomery
An evening discussing art, creativity, and the experience of being a woman artist. Artist panelists include 5 of the 135th Anniversary Annual Exhibition award winners.
Panelists Include:
Tricia Adler (PA)
Adler’s practice is influenced by nature. Her work is inspired by trees and their relationship with one another and all living things. She gathers materials such as sticks and branches and then manipulates them by carving, burning, and coloring. Metals and rust are also an important facet of her creations, melding these materials together.
Allene Cassagnol (NY)
Allene Cassagnol’s journey into the world of art and publishing is a testament to the power of passion. Born and raised in the mid-Michigan countryside, Allene developed a deep love for color and visual arts. She works primarily in pastels, creating work inspired by the natural environment, particularly botanicals.
Claude Larson (NJ)
Claude Larson is a fiber artist whose practice began with quilting and sewing, evolving into collage. Stitching small pieces of fabric together and joining small pieces of paper together was an easy transition that allowed her to expand how she works with fiber. She is delighted with the discovery of creation, always searching for the next great work.
Margaret Montgomery (NY)
Montgomery is a painter who views representation as abstractions of reality. Her work investigates the mutability of cities. Neighborhoods change socially, culturally, and demographically; undergoing structural transformations as a consequence. She juxtaposes that change with a focal point on landmarks, which starkly expose the surrounding change.
Raisa Nosova (NJ)
Nosova’s sculpture opens a platform for discussion on the topic of trauma and resilience. She seeks to bring awareness to the emotional baggage that survivors have to conceal in daily life. Nosova dissects and unveils extreme experiences through a studio practice which allows her to process their impacts.
