Lorrie Teates Artist Profile | The Journey of Life through Vision and Verse

"The Journey of Life through Vision and Verse"

Exhibition Dates: November 6, 2024 – Jan 3, 2025

Welcome to "The Journey of Life through Vision and Verse", an art and poetry exhibit that delves into the profound power of storytelling as a means to preserve, understand, and celebrate our diverse personal and cultural narratives. Through the intertwining of visual and literary arts, this exhibit aims to illuminate the rich tapestry of human experience, transcending the boundaries of language, geography, and age.

From a diverse range of mediums, each artwork serves as a vessel for stories that are both unique and archetypal.

We invite you to explore the quest for meaning and understanding that artists and poets examine with their work. Understand the drive to make creative connections between the inner spiritual and outer material world through the stories presented in this exhibit.

Participate in our docent led artist talks, where artists and poets share their insights into the transformative power of storytelling through creative endeavors. We will be hosting free creative engagement programming about journaling using prose, poetry and multifaceted art techniques for participants to explore their own stories.

Lorrie Teates

A fiber enthusiast from earliest years, I discovered felting in all its various form. I have focused on painting with fiber using wool, silk, embellishing with thread, yarn, rope, beads and all sorts of materials. I am drawn to the natural world around me. Each fiber painting is unique. My work has been shown in local galleries and while I am not a "production" artist, I delight in the appreciation of my work.

Statement

Born in the first moon quarter, with 965 full moons behind me, my journey through life will reach the one thousand mark in 2.9 years or 1058 days. This "full moon" milestone is on my mind and prompted a series of artwork in fiber, my chosen medium. The moon can convey many things to an artist, ebb and flow, waning and waxing, awe and fear, luminosity and darkness. For me it represents the passage of time as each season rotates and presents a new moon through the ages.
