The Exhibit is open Monday through Thursday from 10 - 3 or by appointment.
Discover the richly textured work of artist Tina Cleveland in Self Propelled Creations: An Exploration of Fabric, Paint & Thread. Blending paint, fabric, free-motion quilting, and embellishment, Cleveland creates layered works guided by intuition and discovery. Using thread as a drawing tool, flowing stitched lines bring movement, texture, and depth to each piece, transforming familiar materials in unexpected ways.
Visitors are invited to slow down, look closely, and discover the details woven throughout each work—where color, texture, and stitch come together to reveal something new with every closer look.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 14th from 6 - 8 PM.

Johnson’s work combines intense heat with layered color and texture, resulting in richly dimensional compositions that feel both elemental and refined. Through the controlled use of flame, materials are transformed—crackled, fused, and reimagined—revealing unexpected depth and movement within each piece.
