2 Spring Shows in Richmond, CA!
Real! Live! Color! Solo show of tapestry weaving and textile art at ar.ti.fact galley in downtown Pt Richmond April 13th - May 18th 2024.
I Make Art in Richmond Group show and zine organized by Erin McCluskey Wheeler in conjunction with NIAD Art Center and the City of Richmond. Featuring the work of 10 NIAD artists and 10 non-NIAD Richmond based artists. April 5th - May 17th 2024.
Opening Reception for both shows on Saturday April 13th - at NIAD from 1-4pm, and at ar.ti.fact from 4-6pm.
“Remnant,” 23″ x 24″, cotton warp and organic cotton weft, 2022.
A design based on a fabric scrap leftover from quilting. The colors were chosen before the war in Ukraine but the connection is apt. This piece is about negative space, who is lost, who remains, whose stories get told. Every day we experience monumental loss. Today there was another mass shooting, no, not the one(s) from last week, a new one, just today. Lives lost, love lost, stories cut short. Whose values are we living in/under?
My “Marchers” is included in Radical Regeneration @sjmqt ! On view through October 16th. Hours Friday-Sunday 11am - 5pm and First Fridays 6pm -9pm. Let’s go!
About the exhibition:
“This theme of renewal, repair, and revitalization considers the changes we have collectively endured in the last two years, and, in many ways, the changes we are still processing. In light of lessons learned after times of perseverance, this exhibition considers how moments of cultural disruption can create opportunities for personal or collective change.”

I’ll also be there during the reception on Friday 3/11 from 5pm-8pm with other artists in the show. I helped organize this exhibition of 20 exquisite tapestries addressing major recent shifts in all of our lives: climate catastrophes, social uprising, the isolation of the pandemic. Let’s reconnect.

Just a few more chances to see my “Jagged Skylines of Car Keys”, Armenian Alphabet pieces, and other tapestries and textile works as my @richmondartcenter show comes to a close next week. Open Saturday 11/13, Thursday 11/18, and Saturday 11/20 from 10am to 2pm (and Fridays by appointment). I’m available all 3 days, so let me know if you are planning a visit, I’d love to come meet you and give you a tour! I will be forever grateful to RAC, @amydotspencer, @leslieplatosmith, and @smoralesphoto for having this show during this time of gradual reopening. It has been so lovely to catch up with friends and family after this long shutdown by making small intimate visits to the show (and a couple of larger ones!). This experience will be a very special memory for me. Thank you everyone who has come out. ❤️💕❤️ #richmondartcenter #reentry #tapestryweaversofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #richmondca #armenianalphabet #silverjews (at Richmond Art Center)

Here is the latest entry in my “Jagged Skyline of Car Keys” series, tapestries inspired by a line in a Silver Jews song. For this one I continued to look to the album covers for color inspiration (forever thankful to @lanactrlaltdelrey for this idea) and took some liberties with the Starlite Walker colors. I hit a milestone with this tapestry- it’s the first time I needed to put on my reading glasses to do the finishing. Don’t need em yet tho for the actual weaving!
“Jagged Skyline of Car Keys- Sand”, cotton warp and weft, 11” x 10.25”, 2021.
