Tommye McClure Scanlin ~ artist and teacher ~ tapestry and other things ~ Dahlonega, GA, USA
I am an artist who observes and responds to my surroundings for inspiration. My primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As I seek images and ideas to interpret into tapestry I experience my surroundings a closely as I can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research I put into my work.
I have been living in the southern Appalachians most of my life and so my surroundings are filled with natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. My eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of my tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.

Hi Tommye, Love your feathers! Congratulations on getting in the Bascom exhibit!! Peggie Wilcox
ReplyDeleteKarin,
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, maybe it's that season for the birds to be losing some of their feathers--I've found quite a number of them around in the neighborhood in Dahlonega since I've been back--not the pileated woodpecker feathers, but those of other birds.
Thanks for taking a look, Peggie! And thanks for the congrats--do you have pieces in the exhibit this year, too??
