On July 24th, 2022 , Shelter Island Resident and award winning artist, Susan Schrott, will be exhibiting her celebrated Textile works in her vast open Garden. From 9:30am to 1:00pm ticket holders will be able to stop by and soak in the beautiful garden scenes with her intricately designed textile pieces placed throughout her enchanting garden setting. Hosted by the Shelter Island Historical Society, the Textiles In The Garden exhibit evokes joyful and meditative moments.
In May of 2022, Schrott unveiled her newly commissioned textile piece entitled, “The Seven Sisters” at The Montauk Library and this piece will join this show as well. Susan was recently invited as a guest speaker and exhibitor at two Arkansas university campuses where she spoke about the healing power of her art.
She tends to her garden day and night, while choosing the best of her pieces to showcase in this special exhibition at her home here on shelter island. Schrott describes gardening and textile work as two of her biggest passions and she notes that, "Working with textiles and nature inspire me. It's a beautiful marriage."
Textiles in the Garden is a highly anticipated event that is sure to be an inspiring, uplifting, and colorful experience. Schrott is truly honored to be able to do this event with the Historical Society and our shelter island community as a whole.
