Artists Carol Monti, Tina Freudenberger, and Nancy Hershberger met at Shenandoah National Park in 2021 and became instant friends. Freudenberer is passionate about animals and interpreting them in her art. Hershberger is passionate about the landscape and its interpretation in fabric. Monti’s passion is a combination of both. Together, they began a journey of discovery as they shared information, inspiration, and insights into their work.
"Threads of Nature" displays these three artists’ quilts that explore nature and animal scenes through fabric and thread. For more information about the event, visit the event page.
