Artist Talk with Gail Marirea on Thursday, May 22, from 5:30 – 6:30pm

Join us for an in-depth look into the artistry of quilt making with exhibiting artist, Gail Marirea on Thursday, May 22 from 5:30 – 6:30pm.

Gail Marirea is a Bermudian/Canadian artist. She began quilting in 1997, which led to her first one-woman show in the Rick Faries Gallery at Masterworks in 2008 – the gallery’s inaugural exhibition. She has won an award in the Vermont Quilt Festival, has displayed at Government House in Bermuda, and her quilts are held in private collections internationally, including in England, France, Japan, and Australia. The Masterworks Permanent Collection features two of her artworks. She exhibited most recently in the 2024 Bermuda Biennial with the piece House near Elba Beach, Bermuda. This work also features in Painting With Fabric and is based on a painting of the same name by Catharine Tucker, showing Elba Beach before it was renamed Elbow Beach.

Marirea’s exhibition, Painting with Fabric, will be on display in The Rick Faries Gallery from May 16 – June 10.
