Born and raised in India, Bala Thiagarajan has a passion for colors and patterns that are inspired by Indian culture.

Mandalas are used for facilitating personal growth, healing, grounding and transformation. Thiagarajan’s paintings greet viewers with the familiarity of repetitive patterns, while creating an exciting opportunity to explore texture and geometry. Based in Wood Dale, Illinois, Thiagarajan exhibits her work throughout the Midwest and will be participating in the 2019 Ann Arbor South University Art Fair.

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (May 24, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302190@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 24, 2019 8:00am

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Gifts of presents Art, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway (May 29, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62140 62140-15302195@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, May 29, 2019 8:00am
Location: University Hospitals
Organized By: Gifts of Art

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Mandalas are used for facilitating personal growth, healing, grounding and transformation. Thiagarajan’s paintings greet viewers with the familiarity of repetitive patterns, while creating an exciting opportunity to explore texture and geometry. Based in Wood Dale, Illinois, Thiagarajan exhibits her work throughout the Midwest and will be participating in the 2019 Ann Arbor South University Art Fair.

In Juliette Hemingway’s work, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing, autism, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism, and for her, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora, Colorado.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.

Two U-M alums, Jonathan B. Wright, a life-long Ann Arborite, and his wife Kathleen Wright, have been finding evidence of fairies in their home since 1993. In 2005, fairy doors began to appear in downtown Ann Arbor and Jonathan began documenting them in earnest as a certified fairyologist. He studied graphic design, architecture and illustration, while Kathleen is a teacher of young children, a writer and professional storyteller. Together they discover the stories behind the fairy doors. Though Jonathan’s multi-media works require no shortage of labor, he says, "imagination is the key to the fairy doors."

Jeanne Bieri’s art practice begins with the simple act of hand sewing. This allows contemplation of the art making process and careful organization of the parts. As she assembles it piece by piece, the work grows in a way that closely relates to painting. Bieri received a grant from the State of Michigan in 2000 to study quilts and their patterns. She discovered that they often touch people on a personal level and encourage memories. Whether an army blanket or quilt, she delights to find a treasure that has a personal history that goes well beyond her and extends to the observer. Hide & Seek, Bieri’s current series of art quilts incorporating fabrics with history, encourages viewer interaction and reminiscence. She received a Kresge Fellowship for her fiber pieces in 2017.

Born in Houston, Texas, one of the most colorful cities in the U.S., J. Howard recognizes that color is important in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, our homes, our cars, and even our pets. She points out that “there is a great deal more to color than what meets the eye.” Howard utilizes hyper-realism and enhanced depth of field to create highly detailed soft pastel drawings on canvas that are often mistaken for photographs. She uses the beauty and intense color of organic soft pastels to elicit emotional responses from viewers, recognizing and working with the inherent qualities of color. Also a practicing art therapist, Howard’s award-winning work has been recognized both nationally and internationally.
