Fibre Fun Time by Lesley Moffitt is on display in our Boardroom Gallery until March 28.
FIBRE FUN TIMES
Art is an extension of who I am, what I have learned and how I communicate with others. My art is based on my emotions. I can take a piece of yarn, fabric, thread and paints and make it into a 2D tactile picture. The splendor of both coasts and the prairies have been a strong influence on my art.
Through my art I am trying to get people to look outside the box. I believe that they can see that my art comes from my heart and it will ring bells for them too, just by looking at it and the materials I have chosen to use. This can be any combination of felt, paint, beading, embroidery and machine stitching with varuous embellishments that I collect along the way.
The weather as well, affects my art. The moods that come with the changes in our weather affect what I like to do at the time.
I am still learning and constantly looking for courses to enhance my use of the fibre and the different techniques that can be used to add new dimensions to my art.
