ARTIST STATEMENT
"April is the cruelest month" – T.S. Eliot "Lungs of the Earth which appears on the homepage of my website, is my response to the burning of the Amazon rainforest. As a member of an environmental activist group of writers and artists, Stone in Stream, I created this piece for Earth in Peril/Earth in Praise, the February 2020 issue of “Voices de la Luna”, San Antonio’s Literary Journal celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. This piece has also become an homage to the people, wildlife and land of Australia during their recent horrific wildfires." — Lucia LaVilla-Havelin View the exhibit ARTIST BIO PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Fiber Artist, 1976-present Associate Director, April 1987-June 1992 Pace Primitive Art, New York, New York Director, March 1985-October 1986 Village Gate Art Center, Rochester, New York Independent Curator, 1983-1998: Major exhibitions curated include Pattern in Print EDUCATION State University of New York at Brockport, B.S.
