Scheduled Exhibits and Meetings

May 19

General Meeting at Davis Library, 6400 Democracy Blvd, Bethesda, MD, at 2:00. Susan Cole will present the program. 

She will bring in samples of her work and discuss the process and history of collage and decoupage. Click http://web.me.com/soledesign

Susan Cole lives and works in Washington, D.C. She began her career as a graphic artist working at a newspaper, advertising agency, and as a freelance designer. Over the years she has produced and sold her own decorative art in D.C. and in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

Susan uses familiar imagery and colors that conjure up a history of men and women, personal and universal. What we are taught, what we believe, and what we expect. Rules we keep and rules we break. Universal truths and lies. As children, our views are shaped by play with dolls, games, and toys. As adults we remember. Roll the dice. Get lucky and you win. Break the rules and go directly to jail.

Statement...

For years I have collected a variety of treasures--natural and manufactured, vintage and new, found or given as a gift. I saved them because they are interesting, funny, beautiful, original, or hold special meaning.

In my studio I have saved lace, paper, books, magazines, napkins, feathers, shells, bottle caps, paper images, thread, ribbon, baubles, beads, toys, art supplies, craft supplies, jewelry, game pieces, postcards, cards, fabric, notions, ceramic pieces, paintings, drawings, clothing, boxes, wood--and that’s just the beginning!

In the interest of the environment (especially mine), I challenge myself to use these objects to create original, one-of-a-kind pieces. I intend to turn these found and saved objects into something beautiful, wearable, and /or useful. My goal is to produce one piece per week.
