Rebecca Conviser: Creative Expressions
Solo exhibit in Gallery 2
Exhibition Runs: January 12th - February 2nd
About the exhibition:
In 1998 Rebecca Conviser began making needle point tapestries in order to process her battle with breast cancer. The stitching helped Rebecca to recover her arm and hand strength, while the infinite range of beautifully colored yarns filled her with optimism. Weaving her life experience though the yarn, each tapestry became an homage to her life and the relationships she has formed along the way. The dramatic contrast of light and dark, the bold colors, the intricate patterns, all working together to tell Rebecca’s story.
Rebecca Conviser: Creative Expressions will be on view in Gallery 2 beginning January 12th, and will be available as a video walkthrough shortly after.
Join us at the gallery on January 13th for a First Look at Rebecca Conviser’s exhibition from 12-7pm.
