We are pleased to welcome fiber artist Adriane Nicolaisen to Partners Gallery as our newest member.
Adriane was a student of anthropology, and still looks to the anonymous masterpieces of ethnic textiles, as well as contemporary design sources in art and architecture. She has been hand weaving for more than 20 years, and has in recent years turned to felting, a more visceral process than weaving. “Wet felt is a very plastic medium where each new piece leads me in directions I had not anticipated. I now divide my time between the two art forms.”
“I have always admired the Partners and now I'm looking forward to showing my work alongside theirs.”
We, too, look forward to seeing Adriane’s beautiful work displayed with ours in our Gallery.
