(Chelsea Update would like to thank Winn Mahoney for the information in this story. Please note that the opening reception is Sunday, Jan. 15.)
Millie Danielson will be showcasing a body of work spanning her career as a fiber artist at Silver Maples Gallery 100 from Jan. 4-Feb.27. Gallery 100 is open to everyone and the hours are Monday-Friday: 10 am-5 pm and Saturday-Sunday: 10 am-3 pm.
Danielson was trained as an Arts and Crafts teacher and explored many art forms until she took a course in Serape weaving at the University of Mexico. It was through this course she discovered that weaving incorporated design, color, texture and purpose; everything she was looking for. When a loom was given to her, a career was born.
Her body of work includes many tapestries, fashion, metal, paper and found object sculptures. Andre Gide said, “Out of yourself, create,” this is a motto the centurion artist has lived by to the fullest.
Everyone is welcome to join the Special Showcase Opening Reception with the artist on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 2 pm in the Gallery 100 at 100 Silver Maples Dr., Chelsea.
