Exhibitions

I’m excited to announce the opportunity to see Birds of Beebe Woods in person. The original framed piece is on display at Eight Cousins Bookshop (199 Main St.) in my hometown of Falmouth, MA, on Cape Cod. It will be there for an extended time, until its next scheduled exhibition at another location in 2027.

The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

This exhibition explores the connection between fiber arts and picture books. Focusing on the past sixty years of illustration history, the exhibition takes an intimate look into how artists have experimented with materials to replicate intricate textures. Among the 30 featured artists will be Salley Mavor.

The collection of artwork takes the viewer on an international journey, showing where children sleep in varying cultures and living environments around the world. Along with the framed embroidered pieces, interpretive boards give a background peek at the artist’s process. The exhibition appeals to families, school groups, quilt and needlework enthusiasts, as well as the general public.

The first 5 years of the Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches exhibition is booked and openings are available beginning in January 2026. Inquiries from interested museums are welcome.
