IN-PERSON TRUNK SHOW
In-person trunk show with quilting team from Prescott, Arizona. Trish focuses on abstract and collage-style quilts, exploring movement, color, and layered meaning. David brings a playful twist with humorous pieces inspired by idioms, song lyrics, and whatever curious thought sparks his imagination.
David Charity - Artist Statement
David Charity’s artwork shifts between whimsy and social commentary, often rooted in clever wordplay, cultural references, and current events. Whether sketching on paper or digitally, he continuously refines his ideas until each piece clearly conveys the intended message.
His mixed-media approach incorporates a wide range of materials — from found objects and metal to beads, yarn, and anything that symbolically supports the concept. This freedom of process allows him to tie visual elements directly to meaning.
David often works in thematic series, believing that one idea naturally leads to the next. The grouping of work around a shared concept not only strengthens the overall impact but also creates opportunities for deeper research, particularly in his socially reflective pieces. Balancing lighthearted visual puns with more serious, issue-based work helps maintain a creative and emotional equilibrium in his practice.

Patricia Charity - Artist Statement
Patricia Charity is a visual artist whose preferred medium is fabric. Her work ranges from representational to abstract, driven largely by intuition. Most pieces begin with only a loose sketch or a few color blocks, allowing the design to evolve organically as elements are added, removed, and reimagined.
Trish draws deep inspiration from the world around her — particularly the colors, textures, and surface details found in nature and everyday environments. She is especially fascinated by the visual complexity of stones, bark, rust, peeling paint, and worn or weathered materials. Often seen with a camera in hand, she captures these moments as photographic references for future textile work.
Her process is fluid and reflective, guided more by tactile exploration and emotional resonance than strict plans — a method that results in work that feels both grounded and surprising.
