About the Event

Women Supporting Women
Paper and Fabric Collage by Hollie Heller

FCCC is partnering with Pink Ribbon Jax to bring The BRAject, created by Marlene Scheer, to The Braject to the Opening Reception of this Women Supporting Women exhibition. We will also be welcoming a collection of twelve beautiful pieces from the children of The Discovery School, titled Nature's Palette.

According to Heller, her collection of vibrant, colorful pieces reflects her experiences during yearly visits to Costa Rica. "A lot of my inspiration comes from Costa Rica – being close to the water and the horizon line."

Heller owns the Costa Rican studio and retreat, A.R.T. Tamarindo, in a "bustling little surfing town," and she says this vibe is captured in her "whimsical and multicultural" creations. "Every piece has its own story and a unique mix of fabrics, papers, and printing techniques," explains Heller. "It is a collage on top of a collage with rich colors and subtle overlays."

FCCC President and CEO, Donna Guzzo, says of the exhibition, "We are proud to bring this international female artist to First Coast Cultural Center to share her style, techniques, and inspiration to educate and engage the community."

Heller has a Master of Fine Arts with a focus on Weaving and Textile Design. Also, this award-winning artist’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and public collections, and she has included many of these on her website: www.hollieheller.com.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
