Patricia Turner joins the Sea Grape Gallery family of Artists


SEA GRAPE GALLERY WELCOMES NEW MEMBER ARTIST

            Sea Grape Gallery is pleased to announce and welcome Patricia Anderson Turner as a new member to their family of artists.

            Patricia dye paints natural fibers, mostly silks and bamboo, to create her textile paintings and sculptures. Her fiber art has been described as exploding with vibrancy, color, and the power of imagery.  Her subjects include landscapes, abstracts, social commentary, and whimsy.  Patricia’s artwork can be either framed or free standing and range in size from small transparent silk paintings and collages to large wall hangings.

             Patricia’s fiber art has been juried into many State-wide, National and International exhibits.  In March, 2011, she won First Place in the very prestigious “Silk Roads Meet Verona” Exhibit in Verona, Italy. She also won First Place Award at Art Center Sarasota and Blue Ribbons for the past two years at Mancuso Show Management’s World of Quilt Show in West Palm Beach.  Her work has traveled in exhibitions all over the country and has been published in National and International magazines. Patricia is well known in our local community as well as she has won many awards at the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda and has exhibited at several locations through the Arts & Humanities Art in Public Places program.

            Sea Grape is proud to have Patricia join the Gallery.  Please come by Sea Grape Gallery to meet Patricia and learn more about her work.  Patricia’s work and the work of all Sea Grape artists can also be viewed at www.seagrapegallery.com.
