YORKTON - Come and meet local artist Judy Sawchuk at the Community pARTners Gallery, at the Yorkton Public Library, Saturday, June 4 at 2:00pm.
Sawchuk will share with attendees the inspiration behind her increasingly three dimensional work in paper quilling and give a brief demonstration.
Born and raised in East Central Saskatchewan Sawchuk was inspired by an exhibition of paper quilling in Prince Albert.
After retirement in 2015 she ordered some tools and paper and began experimenting with the medium. She created all her own Christmas cards and started filling requests made by friends. She has made smaller Easter themed cards and larger framed pieces.
Most of Sawchuk ‘sr pieces feature birds and plants. She searches online for inspiration putting together images into her own original compositions.
Each piece continues to evolve as she works on it.
Sawchuk finds the pastime very relaxing. She had previously experimented with painting and 3D diamond painting but has now found her niche with paper quilling and continues to experiment into three dimensions and with abstract imagery.
The show will hang at the gallery through until June 30.
