The Quilted Canvas IV: Ruth McDowell, Jude Larzelere, Tafi Brown and Jo Diggs
2024-01-16 - 2024-04-27 | New England Quilt Museum, 18 Shattuck St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
From the New England Quilt Museum Website: “The Quilted Canvas IV is the final exhibition in a series that began in 2017 at the New England Quilt Museum to recognize and celebrate America’s pioneering art quilters. This fourth installment features the works of Ruth McDowell, Jude Larzelere, Tafi Brown and Jo Diggs. Some of these artists received formal training in art school in the 1950s and 1960s, but chose to explore fabric as their primary creative medium at a time when this was unusual.
Exhibited nationally and internationally, their work is included in private and corporate collections, and they are featured in numerous publications. The innovative works of these four artists continue to demand our attention and influence new generations of textile artists.”

Dawn Allen's fiber art portrayals of the human-animal bond
2024-03-26 - 2024-06-15 | New England Quilt Museum, 18 Shattuck St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
From the New England Quilt Museum website: “Following the success of her 2021 exhibition Great American Road Trip, the NEQM is delighted to welcome back fiber artist Dawn Allen. Her latest series Domestic Partners captures the relationships that humans share with their animals. Many of the images depict humans and animals together, illustrating aspects of their emotional connection. Others, which feature animals alone, invite the viewer to look into their eyes and contemplate their inner lives.

Using a digital painting process, Allen designs all of her own fabrics. Her works are finished using a “free-motion quilting” technique that often includes 100 different thread colors. The resulting portraits explode with personality created using color and texture to convey a dog’s inquisitive gaze, a rabbit’s soft fur, or the protective embrace of a human. Each of the 16 works featured in this exhibition are as unique as the individuals and animals they represent.”
