Grateful & Groovy celebrates joy, nostalgia, and the beauty found in everyday moments through Karen Payton’s vibrant fabric appliqué compositions. Layering vintage textiles, hand stitching, and playful imagery, her work transforms familiar icons into richly textured scenes that radiate optimism, kindness, and wonder. Equal parts folk art and contemporary storytelling, these whimsical quilts invite viewers to slow down, smile, and embrace a more colorful way of seeing the world.
After the opening, gallery hours are Weds-Sat 12-3pm or by appointment
