“What do you see through the clouds? Blue skies, an opening up to colorful fun times, jesters, jokers, party-time? Feeling positive about the other side of the clouds, going places, seeing new things? What does your sunny-side conjure up that visually interprets “…through the clouds”. Co-curated by Sonya Lee, Catalina Aranguren and Mary Waltham the exhibition showcases 36 international artists from 16 countries. A first collaboration with Walk Bye a truly complimentary public art partner and social media platform based in Jersey City, NJ, USA. ”

Maria Thomas – Meet the Artist

A little textile inspiration from my YouTube ‘Meet the Artist’ Collection. Today it features the work of textile artist Maria Thomas.

Maria creates stunning mixed-media artwork, with materials from a collection of pre-loved cloth and discarded domestic packaging & objects. In this video Maria shares the stories behind her artwork and explains the design steps she takes when starting a new piece of work. 

Catch up with Maria and her stunning artwork at Knitting & Stitching Show, Alexandra Palace 2021.
