The featured artists for this month are:
Tessa Hill is a glass blower with 10 years experience. Her work is driven by reverence for the centuries-old Venetian technique of lamp-work glass, its ability to capture and transform light, and the fluid way that glass can mimic organic forms. The subject matter she is most inspired by is natural imagery. "I continually return to plant forms, real and fantastical animals, and human cultural references. I enjoy combining dark and light elements in a piece to highlight the ongoing cycle of life. I always inject whimsy into my work. I aim to create works of art that are accessible to the many corners of our community, and bring joy and inspiration to the viewer." Tessa is one of December's featured artists at the Artist In Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
Sally Tarr, as a Fiber Artist Sally has taken the art of felting wool to a higher level. Her work includes historic reproductions of the "penny rug" and works the format to make them more contemporary, and in other useful products. Sally also produces whimsical pictures made of appliquéd wool. "I have always enjoyed exploring new techniques in my art and now include felted soaps and needle felted figures." Sally's collection includes a wide variety of holiday wool pieces. Her newest art work includes quilling or paper filigree, a beautiful and delicate paper art. Sally is one of December's featured artists at the Artist In Residence Gallery in St. Albans, Vermont.
