A celebration of Texas Artists
It was a wonderful weekend meeting other artists and being able to share my artwork WOW, OK at the Vignette Art Fair. Vignette celebrates Texas artists who identify as women, it was juried by Maggie Adler and culminated in a weekend art fair. The art ranged from 2D works and 3D works, finely created textiles were across from highly skilled drawings and paintings that looked so real you could lift a fork off the wall (Mileah Lorenz had stunning realism drawings!).
Anese Eun Cho’s piece called Lighthouse greeted everyone as they made there way inside. The home was situated across from a stunning large dress and doll figure by Claudia Maysen. Seeing so many pieces by fellow ladies in Texas is inspiring, and validating. It reminds me that my work is worth making, and that I have a place of belonging next to other talented artists. The complete list of works can be found here.
If you are a woman interested in entering this show, I would encourage you to do it without fear of rejection. Every year a new juror is selected, and you never know who you might connect with. If it doesn’t work out one year, don’t be discouraged in applying for future rounds.
While I feel fortunate to have others enjoy my work, I will miss seeing the artwork in my studio. I am happy that it is sold and out in the world. Thank you to the Vignette board for organizing this event, Jessica Brit Ingle, Vanessa Hadox, Colleen Borsch, Madeline Fitzgerald, Mandy Engleman, Victoria Brill, Rachel Ficke, Karina Coscia Cedillo, Mari Ramirez,, Becca Winti, and Juror Maggie Adler.
