Narrative Arts, The Supreme Orator Exhibition

Last Saturday, my "Unparalleled Journey" quilt that I made in honor of the 44th Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama was included in the "Narrative Arts, The Supreme Orator" exhibition opening at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center. This was their 2nd invitational exhibit of this year.




Other artists included, but were not limited to, Cynthia Lockhart; Joyce Young, and Kyle & Kellie Phelps. The exhibit included quilts, photography, paintings, jewelry, and mixed medium and media pieces.

"Seeds of a Dream" Quilt

I was commissioned by Kennedy Heights Arts Center to create a quilt in celebration of their 5 year anniversary. I talked about this back in April when I had first started to draft ideas for it and had given you a sneak peek of my progress.


Here is the finished project:



The symbolism of it....

The founders' names are placed all around the seeds to reflect that they sewed the seeds that took root and formed the foundation of the arts center. The branches of the tree are the collective hands of a community that worked together to create a vision for the art center. Inside of the crystal ball is the Kennedy Heights Arts Center building.


If you're in the Cincinnati area, stop by the center to see the quilt among the other great works of art displayed.
