NEXT PRE-MEETING
January 21, 2026 – 6pm
Lauren Colbert and Sheila Benedis
Lauren Colbert
Lauren is a Brooklyn based textile artist who works with weaving as a way to think about color, repetition, and connection. Working on the floor loom, she creates woven pieces with intentional gaps and layered structures that reflect how connection and isolation show up in everyday life. Repetition plays an important role in her process, functioning as a grounding, meditative practice in response to the pace of digital culture. Through color relationships, material, and moments of subtle humor, her work creates moments of pause and quiet connection.
Sheila Benedis
Sheila is a fiber artist living in Sleepy Hollow, NY. She generates her art by thinking. Sheila starts with an idea, which grows and changes until the form emerges. Her work has evolved from sculptural baskets to installations and artist books. Now in her collages, the ritual of drawing with scissors gives meaning to my life. This repetitive action allows her to connect with the organic shapes of nature and express her feelings. She cuts shapes out of handmade paper to create energetic movement. Some of the collage materials produce weavings. Collage and weaving connect her to the world.
