Her working method involves a strict ritual of first laying out a grid-based general design on a sheet of vellum, applying color with multiple kinds of pigment and then sewing on the various surface elements of beads, rhinestones, and found objects. For the artist, the repetitive and detailed process of making her art is both comforting and is a conscious attempt to fight despair and control chaos with intricate patterns and florid color. Her work can be found in the public collections of Metropolitan Museum of Art, Costume Institute in New York, General Electric Corporation in Stamford, CT, Capezio Ballet Makers, Inc, in New York, and many others. 7- 9 p.m. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
