Renee Brooks, Studio #206
“Simply put, the clay objects I create are, in one way or another, an expression of nature’s colors, textures and forms. I have been a collector of found objects, throughout my lifetime, walking the forests and coastal beaches, bringing ease and peace to my life’s journey.” -Renee Brooks
Pat Warwick Art, Studio #213
“In the spirit of adventure, I make spontaneous marks with lots of color and texture to build layers, always on the lookout for a line or shape that emerges to evoke a memory. Often, I feel like an archaeologist creating order out of chaos. Though it is a personal journey for me, my hope is that a strong composition and nuanced surface will engage the viewer on a more universal level”
Cloud Candy, Studio #223
Cloud Candy offers handmade clothing inspired by a love of art, dance and travel.
Artist/creator, Abbie Chambers takes inspiration from the colors and patterns of the natural world. She then designs, sews and dyes each garment using soft natural fabrics resulting in unique colorful garments so soft on the skin, you will want to wear them everyday.
I Am Leah, Studio #200
Leah Keith has won the Allen Ginsberg Award for outstanding poetry through the VSA of RI three times, and she was chosen to represent them as their Poet Laureate for the past three years. As the Poet Laureate she has been given themes to write about and read her poems at certain events such as, the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act at the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Town Hall.
Leah has a voice and she wants you to know it. She wants you to hear her before you decide who she is. She wants you to see her and take the time to get to know her before you think you already do. She will surprise you with her unique wisdom and colorful sense of humor. She is not what you expect her to be. She is proud of who she is and she makes no apologies for it. In her book Leah uses her voice in the form of poetry and art.
Mila Sol, Studio #202
Jennifer Degagne of Mila Sol will be working in the studio.
Jenn believes that beauty is found in an element’s most natural state. Hand-sanded surfaces and natural patina showcase the organic quality of the materials used in her work. Her designs and models are often created during her travels where she finds inspiration in everything from architecture, street art, and colors and textures of a new location.
