“Nature Captured in Fabric” Exhibit Opens at Tulpehaking Nature Center

The nonprofit Friends for the Abbott Marshlands (FFAM) announces a new art quilt exhibit, entitled Nature Captured in Fabric, on display March 3–April 30. This solo exhibit by Deb Brockway of Hamilton, is at the Tulpehaking Nature Center, Hamilton, NJ. Deb is a volunteer and executive board member of Friends for the Abbott Marshlands. As stewardship chair, she is well known for her trail building skills, while her professional background is in education research and STEM education.

The exhibition’s Opening Reception is Sunday, March 3 at 2-4 pm, with many art and nature enthusiasts registered to attend. (RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/mr3pa2fn.) The exhibit combines Deb’s love of the marsh, the outdoors, and art quilting. Inspiration for her ongoing quilting series comes from her many outdoor activities on preserved land throughout New Jersey and across the country. Kayaking, hiking, and traveling bring the landscapes she encounters into focus on her quilts. Her quilts have been exhibited in quilt and art shows in five states, from New Jersey to Georgia.
