Mary Ann Van Soest
Fiber Artist
Meet the Artist
Reception
Sunday, May 17 -
1:30 pm
Following a 30 year career as a successful real estate
broker, Van Soest knew she wanted to spend the next 20 years fulfilling her
passion creating art. Her new journey began as she explored different art
mediums. Through that exploration she experimented with different ideas and
crafted her art with unusual elements. She has been the recipient of many awards
for not only her paintings but her breathtaking art quilts.
Using hand dyed fabrics, acrylic paints and photographs
on fabric, Van Soest creates stories about nature that draw the view into her
world. Her passion for trees and water are shown in many of her works and her
life spent on a farm in Jasper County and travels are her
inspiration.
Van
Soest was recently awarded the Helen V Surovek Memorial Award at the annual
Salon Show at South Shore Arts. In addition to exhibiting both locally and
nationally, her works can be found in galleries in Indiana, Ohio and
Montana.
The
exhibit will be on display through June 25.
