Collage Montage

March 21, 2025 - April 19, 2025

Thomas Stevens Gallery

The three artists in this exhibit are distinctive in their primary medium, yet have much in common; they all have decades of experience in their creative endeavors, they all take inspiration from people, places, and things in the world around, and they all create remarkable works again and again through a process of assembling pieces together to make a coherent whole. Elaine depicts familiar and beloved places in colorful fabric collages; Kathryn portrays animals, birds, and herself in collages of paper, text, and drawings; Louise composes abstracts on her computer then paints combinations of her designs on silk. All are masters in their medium, and we are delighted to present an exhibit of their remarkable work.

About the artist

Elaine O'Neil

Textile artist ELAINE O'NEIL lives in Hillsborough, NC, and is the great-granddaughter of a Maine lighthouse keeper, granddaughter of a farmer and daughter of an ardent seamstress. She has been re-creating places we love in North Carolina with her unique textile collage art for over 2 decades. Using fabrics she has printed, painted and dyed, all painstakingly sewn together, her work evokes a textured sense of place and connection with wonderful memories. She graduated from Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, earning a B.S. degree in textile design. Her work is featured in galleries and institutions across North Carolina and the USA.
