New Art Exhibit: 'Textiles' by Sharon Bottle Souva

The New Woodstock Free Library is proud to announce our November/December exhibit: ‘Textiles’ by Sharon Bottle Souva. The exhibit will run from Saturday, November 5th, to Friday, December 23rd, 2022.

Artist statement: “Sewing is one of my greatest pleasures. I have been working with needles and fabric in one form or another since I was a child, starting with sewing my own, then my children’s clothes. I began making quilts in 1976, putting them on the walls instead of beds. This allows a greater freedom in exploring ways to manipulate the fabric. The tradition of quilt-making continues to be on the forefront of my work as I explore this medium into nontraditional creations.”

Sharon teaches at Cazenovia College, and shows her work at Gallery 54 in Skaneateles and Salt City Artisans in Syracuse. Sharon will have pieces available for purchase at this library for the holiday season. This show wraps up the 2022 exhibit season. Visit us during regular library hours to view Sharon’s work, and enter your name in the drawing to be held at the end of December for a beautiful floral watercolor print by Gordon Muck.
