Lifelong mixed-media collage artist Elizabeth Lewis is showing some “puzzling bird miniatures” at All Souls Church in West Brattleboro during the month of August. A reception for the artist will be held on Sunday, August 17, from 11.30 am to 1 pm.
Elizabeth is a resident of Putney and a member of ASC. She had her first show at the then-named West Village Meetinghouse in 1981, the year she moved to Vermont from Los Angeles, California.
This show of collages features recently-created chirpy chicadee-dee-dees that mimic human speech and broadcast the artist’s playful personal conversations. Although some of the decorative elements came as part of a larger and more predictable formal jigsaw puzzle, the real bird characters flew out long before the puzzle was complete, and became happy wall-dwellers. Elizabeth lives with them, and with her old cat, who only dreams of feathers.
All Souls Church is located in the West Village Meeting House, 29 South Street, West Brattleboro, up the hill from the West Brattleboro Fire Dept.
