Featured Artist:

BJ BERLO,Fiber Artist 

Opening Reception  4th Friday Gallery Night

June 24, 6 - 9 pm  

BJ Berlo is a Fiber Artist working primarily with fabrics, threads, yarns and beads.  She  recently relocated to Wilmington from Venice, Fl.  BJ designs, creates and teaches the art of quilting.  Her work has been sold and displayed in venues throughout the Venice/Sarasota area in Florida and in galleries in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,  

New York and Canada.  

BJ markets her work as Benderz, which she describes as  "fun, funky, colorful, one-of-a-kind fiber artworks" to wear as necklaces, bracelets, and adjustable wearable art.  Each piece is painstakingly created of exciting batik fabrics covering bendable wire  to reconfigure as the wearer desires.  The result is exactly as she describes above.  

BJ is inspired by the colors and textures of nature and her surroundings, which can be seen in every piece of work she creates.  She also designs covered journals,  

fabric bowls, and quilted jackets.
