| Join us for a virtual conversation with quilting artist Katie Pasquini Masopust. An artist from a young age, Pasquini Masopust demonstrates the painterly quality of modern art quilting using techniques and textures derived from work with oils and watercolors to build layered, complex designs. Katie Pasquini Masopust has garnered national and international renown for her contemporary quilting techniques and abstract designs. From her early beginnings as a painter, she has an extensive body of work from traditional quilting, landscapes, and colorful abstracts that spans over 30 years. She has taught classes on quilting, color theory, and painting across the globe and online. In addition, she had shared her enthusiasm for quilting through her books and classes to inspire others to begin quilting. |

Thomas Sayre: Four Walls
Thomas Sayre: Four Walls features new and never exhibited works by American artist Thomas Sayre (American, b. 1950). Each of the four large-scale pieces installed in Cameron Art Museum’s Hughes Wing engage the belief systems and symbols that underpin the ideals of church, nation, and creation. Made of materials that include tar, smoke, fabric gowns, gunshots, welding material, earth and fire, these works invite visitors to draw close and experience the messiness of making, and by analogy, to bear witness to the ways that life invades, entangles, and tarnishes us.
