Recent Meeting of Southern NY SAQA

I am thrilled to be joined by fellow NY SAQA Co-Representatives Pat Pauly and Jeanne Simpson. Their energy and commitment to SAQA is contagious.  Recently, here in Southern Westchester we had an exciting meeting once again. This time, in my efforts to think out side the box, I invited Shobha Vanchiswar who is educated as a scientist and now is an  artist, poet, author and award winning garden designer to speak with us her gardening from an artist's perspective. It was remarkable to hear her talk about her artistically developed and designed gardens and how her the language she used paralleled so much of our work at fiber artists. We discussed design, perspective, texture, emotional response to the work, foraging through the creative process, letting go of mistakes, and pursuing our artwork as authentically as possible. Thank you so many of the SAQA members who joined us and for bringing bountiful food for our first 1/2 hour of meeting, greeting and connecting with each other.

Be do remember, all SAQA members are invited to ALL NY SAQA MEETINGS where ever they are taking place. Join us all.

Upstate New York Meeting - June 11, 2011

Twenty-nine members traveled from Buffalo, Syracuse and Ithaca as well as Rochester for a meeting of the New York State SAQA. We gathered at The Gate House Cafe in Rochester for a "getting to know you" meeting. The enthusiasm was palpable. Jeanne Simpson and Pat Pauly, new co-reps for SAQA New York, were hosts. Jeanne began the meeting with a brief overview of SAQA and outlined some of the areas that she and Pat hope to facilitate as reps. The meeting continued with a limited introduction by each of the participants, some who brought work to share. Following a lovely lunch, the group toured Booksmart Studio and the “Parallax / Views of Contemporary Quilt Artists” exhibit a short walk away. Viewing the Fiberarts International Exhibit at the Memorial Art Gallery concluded the event.
