Mekong River Textiles

don't miss this fabulous show ✨

The exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, “Making Their Mark," is outstanding, showcasing works by women whose painting, sculpture, textiles, beadwork, and ceramics challenge tradition.

From the Shah Garg Collection in San Francisco, each piece demonstrates the signature role women artists played in the development of modern abstract art.

While textile works by Shiela Hick, Olga de Amaral, and Melissa Cody are sure to please, you might check out the fresh pixelated abstraction on canvas of Howardena Pindell, with its multi-layered technique, or the stitched and painted work of Pacita Abad, “Liquid Experience”.

So many great pieces to see! Below you will find photos of two favorites:

Shiela Hicks' Taxco, ca.1970, Wool, cotton, and metallic thread

Melissa Cody, Three Rivers, 2021, Wool and aniline dye
