Artist Statement:

In my grandmother's house, an upstairs bedroom looks out over the Seattle city skyline. I used to sleep next to that window with the curtains open so I could look at all of the buildings lit up. I'm excited to show these two pieces since they are the first felt (and denim) landscape pieces that I have ever done. Thank you for coming to the show!

Felt Like Time Was Flying Fast

Artist Statement:

While staring at my artboard one day trying to think of a project to do, I was reminded that earlier that day, it had rained, been sunny, was windy, snowed, and a rainbow even made an appearance, all within the span of six hours. It felt like all of the seasons had gone by over the course of one day. I typically make felt flowers, so I'm excited to show these two pieces since they are the first felt landscape pieces that I have ever done. Thank you for coming to the show!

About the Artist:

Beatrix Ruder (13) has always loved making crafts on the floor of her room. Felt has become one of her most commonly used mediums, and she wanted to use it especially for this event. This art show is special because she typically only shows her pieces to close friends and family. It's very exciting to see her art framed, under glass, and well-lit!
