Rosalind Bloom
Member-at-large
Transfer printing and collage create fractured visual histories that move the images away from the purely representational, while hand embroidery introduces a reference to what is traditionally women's work. By combining fragile materials with repeated acts of layering and stitching, I investigate how cultural ideas surrounding femininity, spirituality, and the body persist across time.

Glenda Musilek
Member-at-large
Glenda Larson Musilek is a nationally recognized abstract and representational painter whose work explores the quiet threshold between emotion, memory, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Musilek blends intuitive gesture, atmospheric color fields, and layered mark-making to create paintings that feel simultaneously expansive and intimate. Her deep background in fine art, commercial design, and ongoing art research informs a practice rooted in curiosity, spiritual resonance, and the pursuit of visual poetry.
Frances Trainor
Member-at-large
I grew up surrounded by nature—at first by the sea and very old, very tall trees. I have a deep love of wolves and respect for how they re-establish and maintain the health of critical eco systems. It’s women and wolves, trees and the sea, and digging into my own roots to offer something respectfully with integrity. I studied fine art and dance in the USA and abroad. My formal studies were at PSU, Limerick School of Art and Design, and at Christian-Albrecht Universität in Germany.
Donna Mohan
Member-at-large
I have found a natural home in stitched art, where hand painted and found fabrics, thread, and small hand-worked details come together in quiet conversation. The slow, tactile act of stitching allows me to translate fleeting impressions—light across a garden, a bird at rest or the stillness of water. Texture is important in my work and free motion stitching provides that element.

kept & carried: ordinary objects, extraordinary histories
This September, I am honored to present kept & carried, my solo exhibition as a 2026 Athena Fund Solo Show Award recipient at ARC Gallery in Chicago. The exhibition brings together printmaking, textiles, photography, artist books, sound, and participatory installation to explore how care is inherited, performed, and remembered through the ordinary objects and rituals of domestic life.

Join us for a concluding program reflecting on the “I am Grateful for You” postcard initiative, a year-long partnership between Anne Labovitz’s I Love You Institute and the Women’s Caucus for Art. This session will highlight how artists, WCA chapters, and community members embraced this nomadic, socially engaged project—using small, handmade gestures to foster connection and care.
Since its launch on Valentine’s Day 2025 at the College Art Association Conference, the project has distributed over 1,500 postcards across the country. Participants will discuss the impact of engaging in gratitude as a radical act.
This final gathering also marks a transition: the project will move online, offering downloadable postcard templates so individuals and communities can continue the work independently. By expanding access, the “I am Grateful for You” project remains an open invitation to participate in radical acts of kindness——anytime, anywhere.

Layers: A Retrospective

More About Layers: A Retrospective
My exhibition, Layers: A Retrospective tells my life story through my work beginning in 1978 until the present; literally, because I finished my last piece two weeks ago.
My thought about this exhibition was that my work was a way of sharing how I have approached my life through my art with the viewer. I have always been in love with materials including fabric, rope, text from books, stones, flower petals, leaves, photographs, found objects, etc. I don’t believe I am done exploring new materials. I have also enjoyed using different ways of getting pigment in my work in addition to traditional ways such as paint, oil sticks, and pencils. They include squeezing the pigment from flower petals, dirt, coffee, tea bags and even my own blood.
As far as the subject matter is concerned, my mind has always been open to whatever I feel is important enough for me to want to share. They have included my interest in other cultures, the environment, life cycles, family stories, history, travel, our bodies, birth, and death. Some of my work explores my visualization of the body in nature and nature in the body. This series includes fragments of poems by Mary Oliver incorporated with paint, fabric, stitching, and burning. Her work has had a big influence on my own work and my approach to life.
I am hoping that each and every viewer no matter what their age, religion, sexuality preferences, etc. finds a way to connect with the work. My work does not have a fixed meaning; may each viewer find a connection through their own life story.
