This month, NTLF Art in the Library Series presents the work of local Nehalem artist Glenna Gray, in the Manzanita Library through November. “I have painted for years, done all sorts of art and crafts, and taught art at the junior high level, but nothing ever caught my attention and delighted my senses like felting. A needle felting class at the Hoffman Center taught by Jeanine Rumble got me started. I taught myself wet felting (thanks to YouTube). I learned about Moy Mackay, a Scottish fiber artist, and saw her exquisite creations, which combine wet felting, needle felting, and stitching. I signed up for one of her workshops and went to Scotland two years ago to study with her. Since then, I have been chosen for the Cannon Beach Arts Association’s 2024 arts grant and have started teaching classes in needle felting, with the intention to include wet felting soon.” Glenna’s work is multi-dimensional, soft, warm, sculptural and shown in several local shops. “I prefer not to put glass over the works as it blunts the beautiful texture and dimensionality of the medium. Shadow boxes seem to allow the depth to show through. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I love creating them.”
