The Gallery at Shoreline Center will be showcasing the art quilts of Shoreline artist Joyce Gulleson through Aug. 31.

Gulleson received her BFA and MFA in sculpture from the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis. She spent her working years as an art director for the local CBS station in Indiana and sculpting prototypes for an injection molding firm whose clients included General Foods and Coca Cola.

In 1997 Gulleson retired and moved to Seattle, where she transferred her talents from sculpting to quilting. Her mother taught sewing when she was young and she had always been a seamstress, but now her bed quilts became wall-sized and contained artistic imagery.

Gulleson is a prolific quilter, creating between two and three quilts a week. She creates her quilts with a variety of fabrics and hours and hours of machine appliqué. The pieces average 20 inches by 24 inches in size. The Arts Council Gallery is showing 15 of Gulleson’s wall quilts including “Moon,” “Bark Blender Moth” and “Opened Tulip.”

In addition to Gulleson’s work, the Gallery is also showing the winners from the Juried Art Shows at the Shoreline Arts Festival.

The Gallery is located in the Community Wing of Shoreline Center, 18560 First Ave. NE. in Shoreline and is open noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by appointment. For more information visit www.shorelinearts.net or call 206-417-4645.
