Visitors enjoyed a paper collage gallery by artist Vickie Dash during her Meet and Greet held today (Thursday, March 27, 2014) at the Tamaqua Community Arts Center.
“The gallery serves as a collective representation of my physiological and physical recovery following my kidney surgery,” said Dash.
In 2007, after receiving her second kidney transplant, Dash, of Zion Grove, said she discovered her inner landscape of her imagination and started to create paper collages representing the stories, and images of her journey to recovery.
Her work has been exhibited in several art galleries, including The Banana Factory and Icehouse in Allentown and The Nazareth Center For Arts. She is a member of the Schuylkill County Allied Artists.
Dash encourages the public to learn the art of paper collage by joining her on Thursday, April 3, 2014 at the center. Guests will take part in a community paper collage to be featured at the center.
Her exhibit will run for 3 weeks.
She also plans on offering workshops starting May 15 from 6 to 8 PM.
