Quilt Exhibit at Shore

Local fiber artist Deb Berkeblile is displaying a series of her quilts in the main hallway of the Shore Cultural Centre.  Deb has an extensive background in textiles and quilt making and is a member of the Lake Erie Fiber Arts Guild.   

She recently began to explore surface design and multi-media-artwork.  

Some of the work on display depicts satellite images of the earth including the Great Lakes region.  Their vivid colors and outstanding variations of the images are what drew Deb to these representations.  There are other works inspired by the National Parks such as an image of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone Park. 

Deb is also interested in political activism and is preparing a series of works to be considered for a juried show about civil rights.  The exhibit at Shore includes her quilt portrait celebrating the life of Martin Luther King.   Also on display in Ride Sally Ride, a quilt depicting the first woman to take part in a Space Shuttle mission.

The exhibition is on display during regular hours at the Shore Cultural Centre; Monday through Saturday 6:30am-9:30pm and Sunday from 7:00am-3:00pm.
