Artists of the Month & New Artists

Artists of the Month: November 2020

Meredith Loring

Meredith’s interest in fabrics and fiber started early when she first learned to sew. She experimented with painting and drawing throughout her youth and early adulthood. After some tie designing and fabricating costumes for the No Strings Theatre Company, she decided to experiment with fabric and fiber as artistic media. She primarily uses recycled fabric, yarns, beads, and leather, along with found objects and decorative items from thrift stores, for a variety of techniques.

Jan Severson

Jan spent her professional life with a major computer company as an education consultant. By accident, and with a good friend’s encouragement, she started weaving and found that it had become a passion that brought her a great sense of joy and accomplishment. While she prefers the colors of nature, you will often find her weaving with colorful reeds, yarns, wood objects and beads. The beauty and diversity of New Mexico often serves as an inspiration for her art.
