Entertainment: Nagel featured in OPAA meeting

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, September 21, 2016

The next meeting of the Olympic Peninsula Art Association will be from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, at the Landing Mall in Port Angeles, 115 Railroad Ave., in the upstairs conference room. Sherry Nagel will be sharing a new hybrid art form, combining acrylic painted canvas, fabric and stamping. The pieces are cut apart and stitched back together, creating unique pieces of art. Meetings always are open to the public and free.

Nagel retired from banking in 2008 and moved back to the Northwest. She has spent much of her retirement enjoying her arts and crafts as well as serving on the SARC board of directors. In addition to joining OPPA/Sequim Arts, Nagel is very active in the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club and its art quilt group. In 2014, she organized a group of seven talented art quilters, who worked collaboratively to create their first quilt. To their great surprise and delight, their “Klimt Nouveau” was voted Best of Show in the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club quilt show in July.

In addition to quilting, Nagel dabbles in mixed media fiber arts. She has shown her work in OPAA/Sequim Arts juried shows and in the Northwest Fiber Arts Festival. She has taken workshops at the NW Arts Institute in Coupeville and at the Alegre Retreat in Gateway, Colo.
