Our feature artist for 2023 is Margret Blank, an accomplished fiber artist from Central Alberta whose works have been featured in several exhibitions in Canada. In January 2021, Marg was selected with other Alberta-based artists to participate in “Art from the Unknown”, an online showcase of Alberta Artists.
Marg works with various threads, fibers, fabrics and paints to create stunning dimensional works of art. Previously she created a three-dimensional installation titled Mark On the Body, which was created to show the harshness of living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Marg has participated in many of our arts events, and her work introduces our audience to another art form they may not be familiar with.
