Susan Lapham is our featured artist at the next VAS membership meeting at 7:00 on Thursday, May 8th. Come and enjoy her deep dive into the colorful vibrant world of textile art!
Susan is an abstract textile artist who dances between the design wall and sewing machine. She is inspired by her unusual childhood crossing five continents, speaking three languages, and managing four brothers.
Her vibrant, geometric, and exquisitely colored work has been exhibited widely in the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, The Dairy Barn, Schweinfurth Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Her awards include Merit Award Winner at ArtFields, Best of Show at the Torpedo Factory, and Best Use of Color. She received degrees in cartography and statistics and worked as a mapmaker and researcher until her retirement in 2023. She spends her creative time in her studio in Vienna, Virginia.
The Vienna Arts Society’s membership meetings are free of charge and open to the public. We look forward to seeing you on May 8th from 7-8:30 at the VAS Art Center in the Windover Professional Building at 243 Church St NW, Suite 100LL in Vienna, VA. Call us at (703) 319-3971 for further information.
