Ann Boyd & Temple Fawcett

Preserve and Protect” is a series of mixed-media art by Ann Boyd.  The acrylic-based artworks portray a variety of colorful, textured animals whose conservation status is vulnerable or endangered.  Mixed media techniques enable the depiction of these animals with whimsy and wonder.

Temple Fawcett’s work in felt has grown out of a love of fabric. After a brief period making non-conventional cloth dolls, she discovered felt making. Her current focus is on 3-dimensional figures in the form of women and birds, using a variety of materials and techniques. Traditional wet felting, and especially needle felting, are basic to most pieces along with a variety of embellishments. Some are hand dyed. Found twigs are extensively incorporated, and often dictate both the form and character of the piece. The recent “Whirly Birds” are many-legged (or footed) creatures, which come from the variety of twigs found on woods explorations.
Temple attracted to joyful women and to tall birds, a consequence of many years of New England
coastal living.

The Collaborative also exhibits over a dozen other talented, local artist including Sandy MacDonald, Jayne McQuaid, Joe Lytle, Ariel Bordeaux, Rick Altergott, Kristin Divona, Matt DeLeo, Matt Roza, Faye Silvia, Dina Haskins, Dave Everett, Jule Derosa, Janet Moscarello, and Adam Tracy.
