Reception for "Felicia Griffin: Giving Gifts" at NIAD

Felicia Griffin: Giving Gifts celebrates Felicia Griffin’s 40th anniversary of working at NIAD, as well as her being honored with the prestigious Wynn Newhouse Award this past year.

Griffin, a mentor to many younger artists in the studio, works across media, including painting, fiber arts, printmaking, ceramics, and drawing.

She can often be found working quietly and meditatively at the Saori loom. Her 2-D abstract works combine vivid colors, lines and brushwork that are energetic, seemingly holding electricity.

She’s also noted her interest in shapes and how she embodies them. “The circle is inside of me, the square too. I see it in the world.”

On view August 6 - September 6, 2025.
