WASHINGTON — Gibbs Library presents its 2024 Fall/Winter Fiber Art Show, The Nature of Wool: Felt works by Amy Donaghy. A reception with light refreshments will be held Sunday, Dec. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Amy Donaghy was born in Maine and after traveling and working in other parts of the world, came to settle in Washington. Donaghy has felt driven to create art most of her life. She works primarily with wool, utilizing both wet and needle felting techniques. She also sews, creates multimedia sculptures and recently has begun carving and linoleum printing. Donaghy draws inspiration from the natural world, and the surrounding beauty of Maine. 

Artist’s Statement:

My work is inspired by nature; the nature of the forests and ocean around me and the tactile, sculptural nature of the wool. Wool has a multifold beauty; its ability to keep us warm and its ability to be created into works of art.
