Lara Magruder is a Northern California fiber artist with a background in painting and sculpture. She uses rug hooking and non-traditional materials, images and techniques to explore pattern, shape and texture. Lara has exhibited her mixed-fiber, hooked rugs and hand-made felt at the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Carnegie Center for Art and History and at the Shelburne Museum. She is a member of the Surface Design Association, studied painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute and at the California College of Arts and Crafts. Jeanne Rehrig was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and attended Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia for two years before moving to California in 1978. She attended the San Francisco Art Institute and earned a Master's of Fine Art in Painting in 1984. After graduation, she remained in the Bay Area where she has worked and displayed artwork at various venues. Her art is derived from forms and patterns found in nature. She uses images from life and photographs as references and is attracted to the diversity of shapes within microscopic organisms and constantly amazed by their similarity to natural forms visible to the naked eye.
