Margaret Anderson Art Exhibit at City Hall

Sedona AZ (June 21, 2013) – The City of Sedona’s Art in Public Places Committee is proud to announce a new art exhibition featuring the work of Sedona artist, Margaret Anderson. Anderson’s striking pieces consist primarily of vibrantly colored silk embroidered works of art.

Although Margaret Anderson studied art in the 1960s at Ohio State University and at Bowling Green University, it was in the 1990s that she began using silk and cotton, rather than canvas as a surface for painting. She approaches her abstract designs intuitively and with a sense of adventure while spontaneously building multiple layers of collage, her ideas gradually becoming increasingly defined, until the final design emerges. Her ideas and techniques have evolved to contemporary wall hangings which utilize acrylic paint on silk and cotton, collage and hand stitching.

Anderson has been nationally recognized for award winning contemporary fiber art and has been widely exhibited in juried shows. Her work is also included in private collections throughout the United States and internationally.

This exhibit will be available to public viewing in the Council Chambers until August 30, 2013. To see the Margaret Anderson beautiful and expansive exhibit at City Hall, contact the Arts and Culture Department at 928-203-5189.
