Here are some AMSET exhibits you will want to check out:
Sherry Owens “Fabric of Life” – Featured Exhibit Through September 10
Artistic Media: Sculpture
The current featured solo artist is Sherry Owens.
Sherry is a Dallas based artist and is well known in art circles for her sculptures made of crepe myrtle tree limbs.
Her art evokes both the beauty of the natural world. She calls herself a recycle artist and utilizes crepe myrtle branches that would otherwise be thrown away.
Owens’ work emphasizes the line and form as her pieces of crepe myrtle intersect, weaving together and creating something entirely new.
When you check out her AMSET exhibit, it will not surprise you that Sherry Owens began as a weaver. The Art Museum of Southeast Texas is excited to feature her work as it gives viewers the chance to appreciate art founded in nature.
Don’t miss “Fabric of Life”, Owens’ first featured solo exhibition at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas.
Sherry has participated in previous AMSET group exhibitions.
