Posted on January 23, 2013 by John Vlahakis, By Shannon Gallagher

Kathy Weaver’s visually stimulating, imaginative mixed media artwork playfully juxtaposes colorful imagery with references to politics, violence, technology, personal relationships, and memory. She is a multi-media artist who often works on fabric, airbrushing and hand-embroidering the material to create intricate, multi-faceted works on satin, cotton, silk, and velvet.

Kathy Weaver is represented by ZIA|Gallery in Winnetka, Illinois. She is exhibiting in a two-person show there, running from January 18th until March 2, 2013.

Elegiac Byway, gouache, airbrush, gold leaf, 18" h x  8" w I will be in a two-person show at Zia Gallery through March 2, 2013.  My fellow artist is Michael Cutlip and the show is called "Mixed Media Works on Panel and Fabric."  Using great paper from my favorite paper company, Twinrocker, I created a new body of work combining airbrushing, stitching, burning, and collaging. Thematically, this work connects with my organic/robotic series. Please join me to see these new works.

Kathy Weaver Interview, Must Read

Following is an interview of me by Lydia Shepard, a writer from an organization called Sixty Inches from the Center, a non-for-profit group dedicated to archiving Chicago area artists. The files, digital and otherwise, are archived at The Harold Washington Library and are accessible to the public. I think all the ABG artists should avail themselves of this service. The directions about how to do this are on their website. The people who head "Sixty Inches", Tempestt Hazel and Nicolette Caldwell are very professional and efficient. Check out their other activities on their website. There are so many great things happening in Chicago in the arts!

Weaver's World Closing Soon 7/14!

Closing of Weaver's World - Robots: Drawings and Mixed Media

We had a beautiful spring evening on June 8th when a crowd of 200 attended the opening of "Weaver's World, Robots: Drawings And Mixed Media" at The Art Center in Highland Park, IL.

All the hard work leading up to the opening was worth it. I had so much fun seeing friends (some drive 800 miles!), family, fellow artists and community members enjoying the art and each other.

Since I received an Illinois Arts Council Project Grant as well as monetary support from some local merchants, I was able to distribute a 28 page color catalogue of "Weaver's World" to exhibit visitors. Joyce Owens, artist, curator and professor wrote the catalogue essay. Dr. Sandro Mussa-Invaldi of the Rehabilitation Institute added commentary. Carol Jones of JonesHouse, Inc., designed the nifty catalogue. Emanuel Aguilar of Kavi Gupta Gallery designed the exhibit; he did an outstanding job.
