Hatch Street artist
Catherine Carter will present a solo show titled "Ornamental," at the
School of Fashion Design, 136 Newbury Street, Boston. The exhibit runs from April 10 to May 10, with a reception open to the public on Friday, April 28, from 5:30 to 7 PM.
The reception is scheduled as part of
ArtWeek Boston, and will include a talk by the artist, who is an alumna of the school. She will explain how her early career in the fashion industry led to her current profession as an artist, and how fabric and clothing remain a direct influence on her abstract acrylic paintings.
The show will include works from her "Filigree" series, most of which are being exhibited for the first time. The shapes in this series are inspired by expansive, looping forms such as fiber weaves, calligraphic marks, and natural shapes like roots and vines.
The School of Fashion Design is open Monday and Friday 9 AM to 4 PM, Tuesday to Thursday from 9 AM to 9 PM, and Saturdays from 9 AM to 3 PM. More information is available at
