Heart-Hooked Sisters: Stories in Wool October 1-30, 2021
Lisa Bleier and Michelle Cavalcanti
Using traditional rug hooking techniques, the artists incorporate textured and hand-dyed wool to tell stories of whimsy, nostalgia, and love. Lisa has been rug hooking for many years, and Michelle is a lifelong painter. Their collaborative work began in spring 2020 when the sisters found themselves sitting side by side, working on the same piece. They have since planned, designed, and created the pieces featured in the October show.

Working With Wax Art Group
Founded and led by encaustic painting expert Kathryn Bevier in 2015, this group is an alliance of Western New York artists who work with media based in beeswax as their primary studio practice. Participants share ideas, best practices, and seek guidance from one another as they explore the medium of beeswax. The exhibit features the work of nearly 30 artists working in a variety of wax-based media.
In this exhibit, artists present paintings and sculptural works created with "hot" and "cold" beeswax; both forms appeal to artists because of their versatility and potential to develop rich layers, multimedia, collage, and elegant, often mysterious, surfaces. With wax, process and product are mutually intriguing to artists and viewers.
