Artist of the Month (July) - Julie Fisher

Julie Fisher is the featured artist for July and will read poetry from her
forthcoming chapbook Friday July 1 at 7pm at Hamilton Gallery

Julie created www.PoetryInBaltimore.com because Baltimore's poetry scene
is outstanding. She hosts 3rd Friday Night PerVerse, Essential Sundays @
Minas' Gallery and the B-More Erotic Performance Art Series. She cohosts
Kids Got Poetry Writing Series with her daughter Sophie. She frequently
supports and coordinates special events within the literary community as
well.

Her poems have appeared most recently in Baltimore Sun, Manorborn, Attic
and World According to Goldfish Anthology. She believes the practice of
writing poetry perches on the razor edge somewhere between self
involvement and spiritual exercise.

She co-edited the Octopus Dreams Anthology 1 a publication sponsored by
PoetryInBaltimore.

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And, if you block, it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”

—Martha Graham, modern dance pioneer

Liz Swanson, a Baltimore textile artist, became an artist from the feet up. In June 2000, she performed in Alzaruba’s interactive and collaborative performance pieces at such venues as: American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland Institute College of Art, Towson University, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, Cazenovia, NY, The Creative Alliance, and Maryland Public Television.

As she danced in the vivid costumes, she began to understand color from the heart out. For Liz, hope is best expressed in movement. Also a writer, Liz asks, “Is there reason to hope?” For Liz, when words fail, there’s art! Her art answers, “Yes!” In that spirit, wearable art is her invitation to you to join the dance.

In “Love Made Material,” Liz creates collages of sequins, ribbon, feathers, and found objects on fabric. This wearable art calls to the whimsical in others. Wear it out in the world and nurture some hope and lightness of spirit, in yourself and in others
