Creative Bliss: Hannah Smith Senior Thesis Exhibition
Creative Bliss: Hannah Smith Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fibers
This show includes Fiber Art like quilts, crocheted yarn and fabric, coiled pieces, work that is displayed on the floor, and fun lighting. These pieces are very colorful, whimsical, and fun. Smith says, “I don’t want to make art where people say, ‘oh, interesting,’ then walk away; I want people to stop and look at my art, smile because it makes them happy, and maybe even send pictures to people to spread the joy.” The show will be at the Appalachian Center for Craft Gallery on April 20 – May 3, 2023. This show would help to encourage happiness of the people who get to experience it. Depression can be a very hard thing to suffer with and if someone could get even the slightest hint of happiness from this show, the artist would succeed in her goals for this event.
