Remarks
Quotes from FOLKS
Thank you for contacting me! As a studio artist, working alone, it is refreshing and heartening to hear from you. I treasure your contacts!
Thank you!
Wen
I love looking at your art.
I love trees like you do.
You constantly show me new ways to see. Cedar Ridge Studio
“Hey, Wen! Good to hear from you, even on a list. Congratulations on the honor accrued by your two pieces. Those are prestigious venues, and you should be VERY proud of yourself!” Karey Bresenhan
Your work always takes my breath away and makes me smile at the same
time! Beth W
Wen - your work really speaks to me. I have seen your work in various venues; now I have to get over to your show (and maybe your workshop) at the New England Quilt Museum. I need to keep your blog and work on my radar! Cris
Wen, your new collage series is an outstanding example of Ellen Linder's call for examples of good design in fiber art. I love the way the circle motif travels through all of the pieces and the spontaneity you are able to achieve by "drawing" with a sewing machine. The fact that they are so small (I assume that's 6" X6") shows that size is by no means a limiting criteria and actually presents a very interesting design challenge. I strongly agree with Ellen Linder that we need to encourage fiber artists to learn more about the basic principles of design, especially if we aim to be accepted as equals in the fine art arena.
It was not until today when I started to sort through all the work we did on Saturday that I realized how much we got done. I enjoyed the workshop and expect to incorporate one or more of the techniques in my
next projects. Judith

What a terrific article, Wen! Although I've admired your work for a long time, his insights helped me see your work in new ways. You've earned every positive thing he said about your work. Delores
Hi Wen, “I'm a native Californian who spent a wonderful long weekend in NH and MA two weeks ago. My college roommate was working in San Francisco, retired a year ago and moved to Dover, NH to be near her son (whom she raised in New Haven and Rochester, NH), daughter-in-law and granddaughter. I enjoyed wandering around Portsmouth, and going to the Village Goldsmith Gallery in Dover. It was wonderful to see your work--it was very inspiring. We drove to Lowell, MA (while it was snowing :-), to see the "Puzzled and Board" exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum and to see my friend Nancy Halpern present a slide lecture.
I had wished I'd had more time to see more of your work in other Galleries in the area. Thanks for adding to my trip.” Sue

“Tonight was the opening of the Handcrafted Exhibit In Rocky Mount, NC, where I spotted your work and was fascinated by it. There is no way I can tell which layers come first or how you do what you do. I guess the mystery is part of the attraction for me. Unfortunately we don't get any of the Quilting Arts Series in our area, so I guess I will remain mystified for a while longer. Your work was very well displayed, and stood out in an exhibit that had more small work than average or large.”

4/28/09 Hi Wen, Your work is just beautiful! Hope all is well with you and your family. Say hi to everyone for me.
Keep up your fabulous, inspiring work.

Short and pithy. That's how I like my commentary and this one speaks to an artist's heart and brain. I find the following comments particulary thought provoking:
"Our eyes may well be open, but are we really seeing?”
"This is one of the fundamental tools of any artist, allowing us to see what we really see. That Redmond has successfully achieved this aspect through the often difficult medium of textiles is doubly in need of praise. Her work will allow us to reach levels in which we can observe her understanding of observation."
Well deserved, Wen. Pat
Wen, this gave me goosebumps! I know the feeling when someone relates to the inside 'stuff' that drives us to do what we do - enjoy and ride the high! A memorable and important testimonial to your raison d'etre! Debbie
Wow Wen! This is incredible. The writer has expressed my personal feelings and reactions to your work in such a beautiful way!!
I hope you're going to print, frame, and hang this in your work area. Maybe you don't have moments of doubt, but there are times I need a little boost to keep me going and focused. Kudos! Best regards, Beth
HI I just received an email from ACCI Gallery in Berkeley, CA announcing the 2009 National Juried Exhibition: "Living Legacy" which starts on July 10, 2009 to August 23, 2009.
Wen Redmond is one of the 76 artists juried into this exhibition. The number of submissions was huge -- over 900 so the acceptance rate was only 8.44%. I am glad to see textile art being represented by one of our own SAQA members. They may be others, but I didn't recognize anyone else's name in the list of accepted artists.
Those of us who received the "thin envelope" can be reassured that our genre (studio art quilts) is being well represented by Wen and we need to keep submitting and getting our work out into the art world. The more we are seen in the art exhibitions, the more accepted textile artworks will become and more sales will soon follow. Jean M
Dear Wen,
I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate you on your work in FA mag. I was so pleased to see it positioned at the top right corner of the SAQA ad next to page 12, where it catches folks' attention...such a beautiful piece!
Regards, Sarah E.in HOT, sunny Dallas, TX
3/2010 I have been a longtime admirer of your work. You happen to be one of my favorite artists. I find your work to be fresh and inspirational. Congratulations on being juried into the Beneath the Surface exhibit.
I wondered if you are familiar with the work of the photographer Jerry Uelsmann. I was introduced to his work in a photography class that I took a couple of years ago, and I have two of his books which I really enjoy. They are Other Realities and Process and Perception. I see a lot of similarities between your work and his. I suppose that is why I find the work of both of you so extremely appealing and interesting.
You posted a very kind comment on my blog a few weeks ago. Thank you very much. April
Wen - I was at the opening of Handcrafted at the Rocky Mt. Arts Center last night and was delighted to see two of your pieces there! The vast majority of what was there was metals (jewelry, spoons, small sculptures, etc.) and, other than the cases to hold those small pieces, there was not much on the walls so your pieces and my piece and one or two other pieces were it. It was a nice show though not terribly exciting (I think because so much of what was there was so small). Marni
4/28/09 I have just seen your art show at a DVD from quiltarts. It was really fun and interesting. I would like to try it, but I dont find the silk organza you use for printing. Can I ask where to buy it? We dont have it here back in Norway where I live. But I can try with freeze paper and organza to make it myself. But it would be easier with finished one.
Thanks for sharing on the DVD, Inger

“I went up yesterday. (Ayers Loft Gallery) Really enjoyed the show!
Loved your piece - as usual. Glad I am on your email list.
All the best,” Laura Rosenspan lrquilts@aol.com
Fuller Craft Museum
12/30/08 I was hoping you’d come to the opening so I could finally meet you and thank you so much for your inspiration. I LOVE your work!!! It wasn’t until I started experimenting with your holographic technique that my work really took off. I sort of let the muse carry me and am off on an extension of that trail using photography and transparencies, but not necessarily holographic. Sort of hard to explain and even harder to adequately photograph the final product, but I like where it’s going. Most of the good stuff is in an invitational show right now, but I hope to get organized and launch a website some time in 2009.
I just wanted to tell you how much I admire and appreciate your work and hope to someday meet you.

“Dear Wen, Did I ever tell you that my absolute favorite piece of Clothing that I have EVER had is a vest that you made. My husband bought it for me at the Sharon Arts Center many years ago. I just love it and have worn it millions of times.”

Tue, 3 Apr 2007 Wen,
Your article in Quilting Arts is great -- one of the most interesting that the magazine has ever had. It's such a clever idea,and your explanation is full and clear. Congratulations! Susan
Sun, 25 Mar 2007 Wen you should be delighted! It's a great article, and your work is fantastic --well conceived and beautifully executed. Congratulation! Sue Reno
Wen,
“I just wanted to congratulate you on being a finalist for the 2008 NICHE awards, how exciting! Your fiber work is AMAZING and you are be a wonderful edition to our show. Please feel free to contact me if you would be interested in applying to exhibit or if you have any questions. Good luck!” Warmly, Laura Michael

Subject: Re:blog craziness Thursday, March 5, 2009, 9:42 AM
Hi Wen - I tried to put a comment on your blog today after reading it on the SAQA Yahoo group but couldn't because I didn't ever get them satisfied with all the blank spaces they wanted filled in, being semi-computer illiterate! So I'm emailing you to say the same thing: I see a lot of websites and blogs throughout the days, some of which are ho-hum chatty and some that are very good, but I have to say that yours is one of the best I have come across. Having been a rep for three years and just stopping being one in January of this year, I have not had a chance to become a quilt artist and now that I have the time to learn to be I will probably never do exactly the kind of work you do. I'm more of a literal person. But I have to tell you - your work is incredible!!! And your websit is so professionally set up that its a joy to use, even though Yahoo is a pain!!! To go though your blog gave me the same thrill that a walk through a beautiful landscape or smelling and seeing beautiful flowers or being near wonderful animals would. Thank you for putting in the effort to make it and for brightening up my day. Betty
Wen, I just love your work! Must be in the air. I have been working on something similar, but mine uses pictures with hand needle work, but I like yours much better. Bonnie
Dear Wen,
I wanted to personally thank you for presenting your incredible printing process at the NHAA educational forum last May 28th. I know the examples you shared spoke of the commitment, involvement and journey your art has for you. Thank you again for sharing. Sincerely, Inger Gregory
Hi Wen:
You are right! Wonderful things are happening. From all your emails I can tell that your spirit and creativity are being shared finally with those of us that appreciate your amazing work. Having been an art major at Mass College of Art (never graduated because even back then college was expensive and I couldn't afford to continue) who aspired to be a fashion designer in NY (Project Runway is my favorite show) I did manage to graduate with an Associates Degree in Fashion Design in 1975, I think your work is truly amazing. I hope that I can take one of your classes soon (perhaps when you offer Senior Discounts) but I will try to come an see you at your open studio in Rollingsford soon. Your husband and your daughter must be so excited for you. I know I am.
Thanks for your emails and as they continue to motivate me to find the time to create and develop my own intrinsic capabilities. You inspire me to see the world full of possibilities. Even this gray day my yard is full of the colors of a crayola crayon box. Burnt sienna, umber, goldenrod, magic mint, royal purple! Wow.
Sincerely, Judy
Hi Wen,
Lisa Chipetine was kind to send a lovely introduction this morning. And She is correct that I am a BIG fan of your work. I had been trying to get up the nerve to just write to you directly when Lisa gave me the push I needed.
I wasn't sure I belonged in SAQA until I saw your art. I do not Consider myself a quilter; however, I do use quilting and a variety of surface Design and mixed media techniques to enhance my work. Bottom line: I'm still
Not sure where I fit (if anywhere). It is so refreshing to see your work
That stands alone -- not as a quilted piece, but as a strong work of art That happens to use fiber as the medium.
I am especially enamored with your digital holograms, and have been experimenting on my own. It has been instrumental in guiding me down a whole new path for my work. And the response to my work in the local area has been very positive. I've been asked to make presentations to both fiber art and photography groups about "my" technique, which is very awkward. I start every talk explaining that this is not "my" technique; It's Wen Redmond's. And I then send them to your website and refer them to your article in Quilting Arts Magazine. I do hope you publish more on this to get the Credit you deserve.
Many thanks for the inspiration. I hope to someday meet you. Jayne
Dear Wen,
I am visiting Exeter (from British Columbia) while my husband is attending a conference. I love the holographic work that I've seen in Exeter Fine Crafts. I have just started to use my digital camera and Photoshop in my work, and am so intrigued by your techniques. I googled you and found your wonderful website. I see you have a DVD available thru' Quilting Arts which I will order.
I see there is a list of other galleries where your work is on display, so I will look at a map and maybe check out some of those too.
I'm happy to have found your website and to know a little more about you and your work.
Thanks, Janet
4/20/08 Hi Wen
I recently met you at the SAQA Symposium in Philadelphia. You said you would like to see the piece of artwork I recently completed for a local art show in Chadds Ford, PA, celebrating the restoration of two historic houses. I was greatly aided by your article in Quilting Arts Magazine. This was a stretch for me and I was pleased that the piece was well received. I am really hoping they hang it right next to Andrew Wyeth's entry! I admire your work very much. Thank you for the inspiration and clear instructions. I plan to continue to explore digital printing, now that I have my feet wet!

Sunday, October 12, 2008 Dear Wen~While paging through New England Home, I found you! I am a realtor, but I did own a store called The Stamp Lady in Danvers, MA for many years. I love fiber art, bookmaking, paper making. I love your work. It has tickled me in the solar plexus -- beautiful, original, provocative art! I see that you are teaching workshops. It would be an indulgence for me in this terrible real estate market, but Ican't help asking -- when, where and how much are your classes? Your open smile has brightened my day. I'm delighted to have discovered you!!!
Sylvia
5/09 Wen –
Your work featured in ARTFUL HOME is stunning, amazing! You certainly set the benchmark for creation of artwork for all of we "emerging fiber artists." And your hard work and perserverance are paying off for you.
Wishing you much success in this latest venture. BRAVO!!
