The public is invited to a RECEPTION AT WILD HEARTS GALLERY IN
PLACITAS ON JANUARY 13, to meet and talk with QUILTING ARTIST, JUDITH
RODERICK ABOUT HER EXHIBIT “The CRANES”. The exhibit runs JANUARY
2 – JANUARY 28. Visit the website to view a virtual tour of the
GALLERY AT WWW.wildheartsgallery.com.
Starting off 2024 on a high note, “The Crane”, will be at Wild
Hearts Gallery in January. The exhibit is a tribute to the crane, both
the Sandhills and the endangered Whooping Crane, featuring silk art
quilts, watercolors and a newly revised book of poems and artwork
depicting their grace and beauty. These ancient, iconic, symbolic
birds, who fly into our Rio Grande Valley each winter, have been
revered by a myriad of cultures worldwide for thousands of years as
symbols of peace, hope, longevity, fidelity, and as messengers between
Heaven and Earth.
Judith was a painting and design major in college and has been
painting the beauty and diversity of our world ever since. Her
quilting work is unique – she begins by painting on silk and then
creates quilts from her original paintings and from prints of her
work.
Judith says: “Need upliftment for the New Year? May this show and
book provide inspiration and food for thought, and inspire you to go
observe them, up and down our valley, at the Bernardo wildlife area at
Bosque del Apache. Long have they flown, since the age of the
dinosaurs, long may they fly!”
The reception will be celebrated with fellowship and refreshments on
Saturday, January 13 from 1-3 p.m.
