I have been following the incredible work of Ms. Agneta Gaines for nearly five years. Her weaving and mixed fibers are intricate, serene, pay homage to the land by also including the use of native plants, from her home country of Sweden.
I have never experienced an exhibit where all of the pieces are so beautifully calm. It allows you to sit, meditate, take in the details, and relax.
The gallery changes quarterly bringing new fresh colors, textures, mediums to continue to stimulate life-long learning. From booking amazing artists, designing the gallery space, photographing the artist, providing graphic design services, developing a theme, laying out the PowerPoint for the artist talk, planning the reception menu—that reflects the artist’s work, to staging. This definitely fills my cup on a level that I had not anticipated, and I am happy to be apart of the multi-generational integration. The residents are able to view new artist works in the comfort of their home, as well as, interact with the artist at a talk and reception.
