OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice.
This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
I had felt a pull to move and study in the Appalachian art community.
I felt myself desiring new additions to my medium. Fiber, supplemented by clay and slip.. a change, a shift, a new layer.
I envisioned myself in this dress, in the woods outside of Knoxville, with macrame draped over my shoulders and the whole thing dipped and dried in clay clip left in the fragility of a ceramic greenware state.

More Exhibits
The Connie Flachs Exhibit
I am inspired by movement and human growth, physical, mental and spiritual. This work in particular is part of a series of dance journal entries that have enabled me to document a time of major transition (of career, personal life, and place) in my life. The female spirit, to me, is sensual, feeling, flexible, and deep.
The Angelique Adams Exhibit
I am an engineer with over 25 years of experience in manufacturing, operations, strategy, and innovation most recently serving as the Chief Innovation Officer at Aperam, a multi-billion/yr global manufacturer of stainless steel and specialty alloys. I went from being laughed at when I told professors I wanted to pursue a Ph.D., to leading hundreds of scientists around the world.
The Sarah O’Leary Exhibit
I am an artist currently exploring watercolor and mixed media work. With my art, I create my own narrative of the the freedom, joy, and sovereignty I have in my body. I am inspired by human emotion, inner wisdom, the female body, and my connection to all that is.
