SHAWN DELKER
Fiber artist Shawn Marie Delker learned the joy of sewing from her mother beginning at age five and has been stitching ever since. She began quilting in 2000, and she soon discovered art quilting.
Shawn’s art has been juried into galleries in Topeka, Omaha and Albuquerque, and she is a frequent exhibitor at many local galleries. She received the third-place prize at the 2017 Fiber Arts Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in 2024 she won First Place in “Kansas Through the Eyes of an Artist” at the Carriage Factory Gallery and Best of Show in the NOTO Fiber Arts Passion’s Exhibition and again in 2024 was awarded People’s Choice at the “Music and Memory” exhibit at NOTO’s Morris Gallery. Her latest exhibit was a solo show titled, “On the Edge” at the Vernon Filley Art Gallery. Her art is represented at the SNW gallery in Manhattan Kansas.
Shawn’s current work uses an embroidery technique she is developing in which she “paints with thread” on her sewing machine. Her technique is unique to her, and she continues to experiment to create new ways to create shape, form, and texture with thread. Much of the work shown at Art House 310 is botanically printed silk which she created from plants in her garden and then appliqued on her machine embroidered bird.

LISA COOGIAS
My work is rooted in the landscapes of the subconscious.
Dreams often guide my imagery, surfacing colors, shapes, and forms that carry meanings beyond what I can put into words. Abstraction allows me to express emotions and experiences that resist direct explanation, while portraits ground that inner world in human connection.
Each piece is an attempt to give shape to the unseen. They transform fleeting, hidden feelings into something tangible and shared.
