Only 6 more days until the premier art show for
Bronzeville's newest fabric artist.
Chicago's Bronzeville community has a rich history for African-Americans
in Chicago. Bronzeville was the area
where thousands of African-Americans settled in the early 1900's after moving
from the South in search of better opportunities. Bronzeville became the seat of
African-American culture in Chicago. The
area birthed poets, authors, singers, musicians, and visual artists. Bronzeville is experiencing a resurgence in
African-American culture. Providence settled
Ramona Dallum Lindsey, fabric artist, in historic Bronzeville in 2009 after
moving to Chicago from Opelika, Alabama with her husband and children in search
of greater opportunities.
Her interest in fabric art was rekindled after meeting one
of her quilting mentors, Gwen McGee Boyd, at Bronzeville's historic LakeMeadows Art Fair. From her condo in her
Bronzeville brownstone Ramona experimented with transforming traditional
quilting and embroidery techniques into modern art telling the story of her
complex community. She uses fabric to
create wall art and fabric sculptures.
Her pieces are rich tapestries of color, dimension and texture.
