Shorter University Professor Featured in the Anamchara Art Gallery
Assistant Professor of Art, Margie Monde, is featured in the Anamchara Art Gallery.
The Anamchara Art Gallery is in Cedartown, GA. Anamchara was a former Christian church and is owned by local artists Mike Burton and gallery director, John Johnston.
The gallery is hosting an invitational juried exhibition titled “Till We Have Face,” which features art from regional artists. The exhibit will be open on the weekends until May 20.
The exhibit features a large number of works of art by Monde, and includes paintings, digital art, photography, and fabric design. One of her displays is a botanical eco-printed silk tapestry, designed with organized tannins of flowers and leaves that are primarily from Floyd County. Eco-printing is a form of natural dyeing where the colors from plant material are transferred to the fabric via steaming.
