Tara Hamilton work featured in Capitol Hill gallery
Wednesday Studio member Tara Hamilton is in a two-woman show this month with fellow Capitol Hill Art League member Karen Zens. “Colors of Quarantine: Creativity in the Time of COVID” is on display through November 7 at Frame of Mine Gallery, 545 8th Street SE, in DC.
Tara is known in the Wednesday Studio for her watercolor art. For this exhibit she made a departure from all watercolor to create pairs of art in two media on the same subject. She first created a watercolor painting and then rendered it in a fabric collage. The effect of using the two artistic approaches for the same subject is quite wonderful.
Tara explained that she had been cutting fabric for a friend who was making facemasks. She had an abundance of leftover remnants and scraps and decided to try turning them into art.
Here are Tara’s paired watercolors and collages:
Below is the poster for the exhibit. You can see all of the art in the show in person at Frame of Mine, or online at the Frame of Mine gallery shop. For convenience, the online gallery includes prices and the ability to purchase.

Interesting, is fabric sewn, glued or does she use two sided inner facing and iron it down.
