The Fiber Art Group "Harmony"


Harmony is exhibiting a collection of art works of different mediums and miscellaneous subjects like tapestries and woven three-dimensional art, painting on silk, felting, quilts, and appliqué.

Harmony emerges in this eclectic collection of art in a magical way; sometimes from within, sometimes of the spiritual world and sometimes of the subjects that surround us. Harmony offers a delightful visual experience.
