About Wild and Woven: Two Perspectives in Contemporary Art Quilting

Two artists. Two distinct visions. One compelling exhibition.

Working with fabric, thread, and paint, Annette Kennedy and Sherri Lipman McCauley invite viewers to explore the dynamic interplay between realism and abstraction. United by their use of painted fabric and stitch, each artist brings a unique voice and perspective, creating a captivating dialogue through contemporary art quilting.

From richly detailed realism to expressive abstraction, Wild and Woven traces each artist's creative journey, featuring selected works from their earliest explorations to their most recent pieces.

About the Old Bakery & Emporium:

The Old Bakery & Emporium was built in 1876 by Swedish immigrant Charles Lundberg. Midsummer, or Midsommar, is a traditional Swedish holiday celebrating the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The Old Bakery hosts Midsummer as a tribute to the building’s Swedish-American heritage.
