Sequoya Library (4340 Tokay Blvd.), on display through Dec. 31

This Oconomowoc-based artist makes her pictures — framed impressionistic landscapes and figurative scenes of animals and people — with wool, silk and animal and plant fibers. Most of the homespun works in her bountiful exhibit are needle-felted wool, and all of them are warmly composed in three-dimensional textures and layers of fluffy, fuzzy, brilliant color. Among the dozens of images displayed is “My Long Winter Road Re-Imagined,” an enchanting forest in vibrant aqua shading into violet and somber earth tones.
