Bailey Contemporary Arts Center has announced the exhibition of renowned artist Andrea Huffman. Listening to Sky showcases Florida birds and the natural impact on local bird populations through Huffman's amazing prints and fiber artwork.

“Sky listening is an amazing collection that encourages viewers to better understand, protect and preserve the environment,” said Phyllis Korab, Director of Cultural Affairs. "Through Andrea's work, we are encouraged to calm our minds and focus on our connection to our impact on the environment."

Huffman's artwork will introduce some of the many birds that call home south of Florida, year-round and seasonally. His work will address local concerns such as the loss of accommodation and the planning of non-indigenous areas, as well as historical events such as the Everglades logging. While understanding this is important, it will also give viewers ideas that we can all make to enjoy our place more and lessen our impact on it.

 

Fiber artist Andrea Huffman, who is part of the Artist in Residence program at BaCA, received a master’s degree in Art Education from Florida International University and taught art in Broward County Public Schools for more than 30 years. She has exhibited her art throughout Florida and nationally, receiving numerous awards and recognitions, including several grants and a residency at the prestigious Hermitage Artist Retreat in Englewood, Fla. Although Huffman has retired from teaching in the public school system, she continues to share her passion for art teaching classes and workshops in fiber art and mixed media at various art venues and guilds throughout Florida.
