"Tapestry for the Tropics by Tapestry Artists of Sarasota"(TAOS) exhibited weavings by Lynn Mayne and John Nicholson (below) and Terri Stewart (next page) and Becky Stevens (here) and (here). . . during Convergence 08. It featured six series of tapestries -- providing two related items can be classified as a series. . . .
Working in series has allowed us to see the visual prowess of mature artists, who confidently present pieces that reveal individualistic interests. . . There is a freedom to render exotic hair configurations, fluid curves, lacey wings, and dynamic architectural towers.
