Jean Wells Keenan in PBS "Oregon Art Beat" Exhibition

Jean Wells Keenan is one of the artists featured in "The Oregon Art Beat Annual Exhibition", an exhibit by Oregon Public Broadcasting of artists who have been featured on Art Beat on PBS.  The exhibit is on display until June 15. The work is displayed in the galleries on the third floor of Pioneer Place, Portland, Oregon. The galleries are open Wed.-Sun, noon-6.

Jean received these thoughtful comments from Jeannette DeNicolis Meyer:

Dear Jean,

It was lovely to come upon your quilt at the OPB Art Beat Exhibit in downtown Portland today. The quilt's composition is so strong -- that little sliver of sky managing to balance all the subterranean  weight below. And I really resonated with the beautifully drawn and expressive quilting lines. It made my heart sing to be able to say that a quilt was one of the best pieces in such a large and comprehensive show. It's work like this, in shows like this, that will eventually make people realize that fabric and thread are just art supplies and that people who use them thoughtfully and with intentful are as much deserving of the term artist as those who work with paint or marble.

Congratulations!

Jeannette

More of her work will be on view at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center from March 5 to May 4. The opening reception for Jeannette DeNicolis Meyer's exhibit, If This, Then That,  is scheduled for March 10, 2013. Meyer's career has been fed by two creative streams: her studio work and her teaching, and this retrospective exhibit explores the If This, Then That decision-making process that structures her studio and classroom lives. Concept to image, image to design decisions, design decisions to choices of materials and material choices to construction decisions, each IF leads eventually to a THAT. This seemingly linear process branches into webs of possibilities as each If yields multiple choices of That; each That births a number of brand new Ifs. By inviting the viewer to share her design process --with sketches of works in progress, the dyed fabric essential to the work she makes, and finally, finished quilts from a number of her ongoing series—this exhibit aims to create both a classroom and an art gallery.

The exhibit began with booking Quilt Art 20, an exhibit featuring quilts created by 20 professional international quilt artists. Since its beginning in Britain in 1985, the traveling exhibit features artists from the United States and Europe, representing eight countries in total. To insert a local element to the exhibit, a selection of historic quilts from the Oregon Historical Society’s collection were added to the exhibit, as well as quilt art from 10 contemporary quilters in Oregon. Quilt Art 20 became Timeless Quilts.
