Artist of the Month

The library was Elizabeth Meeker’s favorite place when she moved to

Lee in 1979. Bringing her fabric flower pictures, inspired by the Lee

Farmers Market, to the Library is something

Elizabeth is very excited about. A lot of the

fabric used in the pictures and sculptures are her

husband’s recycled old cloth baby diapers, as

well as other fabrics gleaned from the “Lee Em-

porium” (Swap shop). Elizabeth hopes to inspire

others to use reclaimed fabrics to make art!

Elizabeth’s fiber art wall

hangings and sculptures

will be on display at the

library September 1through October 31.
