In Full Bloom
I am excited to announce that I will be showing my art in the beautiful Click Workspace February-March. There will be an Ukulele band for the Northampton Arts Walk on March 10th, 6-8 pm, and I will be there to great you as well.
In Full Bloom highlights two series by fabric artist Dawn Allen. All of the pieces are made from fabric using modern art quilting techniques and her own method of transforming the usually flat quilt medium into three dimensional art.
The first “Larger Than Life Flowers” series created in 2015 was inspired by the moment in the Wizard of Oz when the movie turns to color and the camera pans across giant colorful flowers. This series is fun, exiting, and happy.
The second series, The “Doris and Irma Go Wine Tasting” created in 2016 is inspired by the exaggeration of gardens. Allen says, “I thought about stones, wood, sky and flowers and how those natural elements could be made to look more three-dimensional, more colorful, and have extreme patterns and texture.”

A solo exhibit highlighting my fabric art from the past two years, will be at the Rinnova Gallery in Westfield, MA, September through October. Most of the artwork from the "Larger Than Life Flowers" series will be there as well as several new and not yet exhibited pieces.
The “Larger Than Life Flowers” series is inspired by the moment in the Wizard of Oz when the movie turns to color and the camera pans across giant colorful flowers. This series is fun, exiting, and happy. These original art pieces hang on the wall and bring cheer to your space.
All of the pieces are made from fabric using modern art quilting techniques and my own method of transforming the usually flat quilt medium into three dimensional art.

Lasting Impressions
I will be showing one piece in this juried quilt exhibit and hope to see you at the opening.
"All artists seek to make an impression on the viewer with their creations. For LastingImpressions, we asked quilters to take that sentiment a step further and use stamps, dye, stitching, and other techniques to make their fabrics as striking as their designs. With quilts comprised of at least 50% handmade fabrics, this eclectic exhibition showcases the breadth of technique and style that can be achieved through the quilter's manipulation of her medium."

"Irma and Doris Go Wine Tasting" Solo Exhibit by Dawn Allen
General Vineyard Hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6
“Irma and Doris Go Wine Tasting” is a veritable garden of three-dimensional fabric flowers and foliage. You’ll want to get “up close and personal” to fully appreciate and enjoy its size, intricacies of beads and thread, and vibrancy of color. The cotton sateen fabrics themselves feature Dawn’s original designs—bright graphic patterns created from her own photographs of flowers and nature. Dawn’s exclusive hidden-wire technique brings each piece to life in three dimensions. Do not miss this glorious garden!
Dawn Allen started quilting and beading when she was a child. She loves creating three-dimensional fabric art—“happy art”—that brings color, whimsy, and beauty into any space. Her work has recently been exhibited at the Fuller Craft Museum and at Highfield Hall and Gardens. Her home studio is in Westfield MA.
