Four Exhibits that Show That Fiber Art Is More Than Thread and Yarn

Evans Gallery: FIBER 3D- Revolutions This celebrates the work of three extraordinary fiber artists: Brecia Kralovic-Logan (from Santa Barbara), Deborah Jarchow (from Simi Valley) and Gerri Johnson-McMillin (from Pt.

This is a continuation of the 2008 exhibition at the Syd Entrels Gallery in Tampa Bay, FL.
