Yesterday was a wonderful day “Looking at Art”. With other members of Houston Area Fiber Artists (HAFA) we went on a tour led by Victoria Lightman. We virst visited the the Hiram…..Butler Gallery.
This was followed by visits to two artists studios. Cara Barer is making the most beautiful sensuous sculptures from old books. She scans them and prints on paper or metal. You will enjoy a visit to these photos on her website.
The second studio was that of Dixie Friend Gay. She is a fabulous painter, but most recently has been focusing on public art projects. You may have seen her fabulous Houston Bayou mosaic on the walls of the Continental Airline terminal at Bush International Airport in Houston. The tiles, many of which she makes herself, are sent to Mexico or Canada to turned into these rich mosaic works. Her website is worth a look also.
The final stop was at the Lightman home to see their art collection and enjoy a box lunch together in spite of the dreary weather outside.
