Kate Dodd
Kate Dodd received her BFA from Pratt Institute in 1983 and her MFA from Columbia University in 1990. Originally from the Bay Area, she now lives in New Jersey while maintaining strong creative ties on both coasts. Dodd creates temporary and permanent site-specific installations that explore transformation, materiality, and the hidden patterns embedded in human habits.
Her work has been exhibited nationally in museums, galleries, and colleges. She received an Individual Artist Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts in 2020 and has completed numerous artist residencies, including MacDowell and multiple school-based residencies throughout the tri-state area.
Dodd has been commissioned to create installations for five NJ Transit stations, as well as projects for Summit Public Arts, the Redwood City Public Library Children’s Room, and Rowan University. She is currently developing new commissions for The College of New Jersey and a private residential complex in Jersey City. In 2026, she will present a solo site-specific installation at the Montclair Art Museum.
NEXT PRE-MEETING
March 18, 2026 – 6pm
Lynda Williamson & Ellen Weisbord
Lynda Williamson is a mixed Media textile artist who splits her time between Bergen and Calgary, Alberta. Currently, her practice focuses on exploring her relationship with nature and society and the tension found between the endless skies she finds in the wilds and the rigid and constraining rules imposed by man. Recent pieces have mediated this conflict in her subject matter and questioned whether our limitations come from within us or are impressed upon us.
Her art has recently shown at Quilt Canada, Ontario, Canada, Southeastern Quilt Museum, GA, the Art Council of Moore County, NC and Bloomingdale Park District Museum, IL. Works can also be found in private collections in Canada, United States and the United Kingdom. Several more of her pieces are currently on tour across numerous venues in the United States.
Ellen Weisbord is a fiber artist and retired art educator living in South Orange, New Jersey. Her woven, felted, handspun, coiled, and mixed media works demonstrate her life-long joy of working with fibers and ancient techniques. Her fiber work is a reflection of nature and the world around her, as well as an expression of her interior life. Her work has been influenced by the minutiae of tidepools and woodlands, to the majesty of the aurora borealis and landscapes viewed from the air. In recent years, she has worked on a project entitled Wisdom from the Attic, in which she connects generations of family, and gives new life and meaning to heirloom family textiles.
