The July 1st FIRSTfriday of Falls Church features musical performances and art exhibits at various locations – both indoors and outdoors — around The Little City.
This month, Art and Frame of Falls Church, 111 Park Avenue, will exhibit the work of artist and quilter Shanna Obelenus in her show titled, “Maka” (the Sioux name for Earth.) Her work evokes themes of nature through the manipulation of patterns, colors, and textures in the fabric. Shanna studied fine arts in college and double-majored in Art and Geology, and minored in Art Education. She has been quilting since 1994 and currently quilts under the business name “Vantage Point Quilting.” As a professional quilter, Shanna enjoys designing a quilt that is customized for the end recipient, and she has created quilts both for charitable events and for private sale. A reception will be held at the Park Avenue Gallery at Art and Frame of Falls Church this Friday from 6 to 8 pm. Shanna will give an artist talk about her work at 7:15 pm.
