Fabric is her chosen medium of expression through which she creates realistic portraits of people and objects.\u00a0 She finds color, light, shadow, line and value in the pattern of ordinary household fabrics. From these materials she snips small pieces which she arranges and fuses into a figurative composition.\u00a0 As such the work grows from within rather than being applied to the surface of a canvas by paint, pencil or similar drawing tools.\u00a0 When the image is complete, Beasley sews it together with the stich line constituting the final \u201ddrawn\u201d line.<br \/>\nMs. Beasley presents many subjects in her work, among them she often completes artwork that displays a rare look into the world of politics and how it affects the Black community.<em> Ultimately, the artist\u2019s goal is to celebrate the human condition in work that both intrigues and inspires the viewer.<\/em><br \/>\nAlice Beasley\u2019s work has been exhibited in many venues throughout the United States including the California Heritage Museum, the American Folk Art Museum, Rutgers University Art Museum, the National Afro-American Museum, the Textile Museum of Washington D.C.<br \/>\nand the Smithsonian Anacostia Museum as well as abroad in Madrid, France, Japan and Namibia.
