Maggie McCarthy at Mosaics

Come see me and my watercolor paintings at the annual MOSAICS Festival for the Arts this coming weekend, September 16-18, on historic Main Street in Downtown St. Charles.  Hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Friday evening, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.  This is always a fun show in a great setting.  All the artists will be on Main Street north of First Capitol.

For a sample of my work, check my web site:  www.maggiemccarthy.com, but I will be framing and matting new pieces this week for the MOSAICS show that are not on the web site yet.

The weather for the weekend looks great, so come out and enjoy the festival

About Suzanne Galli Koenen

 

Throughout her career, Suzanne Galli Koenen has experimented with many types of media including watercolor, acrylic, art quilts, and fiber. Her newest show truly illustrates that there are “No Limitations” of what she can do. With a focus on sustainability and reuse, Suzanne incorporates fiber “bits and scraps” from projects into various artwork. Pieces not to be missed include her Color Play Series, Rope Vessels, Hooked Fabric Hangings and Mosaic Landscapes.

 

Suzanne says, "This is a fiber show but I have my watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings printed on fabric, repainted and stitched."
