Spotlight Artist 2024

Tanya Lieberman

November 26 – December 31

Tanya Lieberman is an emerging fiber artist who uses shibori resist-dyeing techniques to create designs on fabric and paper.  

Shibori provides Tanya with a connection to her Japanese heritage while allowing her to experiment with novel and found objects.

She uses a variety of household and found items, including bottlecaps, sushi mats, can lids, dental floss, cooking implements, PVC pipe, pill packs, and bubble wrap.

Much of her recent work involves the use of sushi mats, and is inspired by the rice farms of the Sacramento Valley, which supply nearly all of the sushi rice used in the United States. 

Tanya lives with her family in Davis.
