Fourth Quarter 2026
| INSTALLED ARTIST HIGHLIGHTS |
Each quarter, we celebrate accomplishments and special milestones involving artists installed at Purple Paisley. This quarter, we are pleased to recognize Kori Deller and Carrie LeCavalier.
COMMISSIONED FIBER ARTWORK Kori Deller
Kori Deller’s commissioned fiber wall hanging
Kori Deller, a fiber artist installed at Purple Paisley, recently completed a privately commissioned wall hanging with a remarkable story behind it.
The client had traveled to the Carolinas to observe a group of nineteen Theravada Buddhist monks during their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace. Afterward, the client commissioned Kori to create a wall hanging based on a photograph taken of some of the monks.
Our hearty congratulations go to Kori for this marvelous commission!
