I discovered the great beauty in Nature, is such an amazing gallery of colors and shapes and I am taking those and capturing them in fabric in my collection called FabricArt Botanicals . This collection will be showcased along with other Local Artists , Photographers and Mixed Media in the U.S. Wildlife Visitor Center on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The opening reception is February 12, 2016 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
The Wildlife Show will be on site till the middle of May 2016. I hope if you find yourself in the area that you will stop in to see the exhibit as well as enjoy the diverse collection of information about the Alligator River Wildlife Refuge and the educational opportunities to learn about the Red Wolves , Bears and birds found in the refuge.

Lorri Chambers is an experienced textile artist with a deep, spiritual connection to nature. She loves creating art with fabric, fiber, beads and an out of the box imagination. She has shared her artistic talents for over 40 years in many venues on the East Coast. Lorri has been a resident of North Carolina since 1999 and has experienced the vast natural beauty in her art and photography.
Each fabric painting is created individually using fabric, needle , thread , beads and imagination, hand-sewing the details. It is not your normal painting which is usually two-dimensional in nature. This art wants you to be invited in and see how special they truly are in this 3-D artistic interpretation.
They are based on actual native North Carolina plants, many valuable to the pollination process for bees and butterflies vital to the natural balances of the environment.
