"With her dual background -- mother from Cameroon and French father -- Vickie Frémont has lived between two different cultures, two worlds. She speaks several languages (French, Spanish, Italian, English…) She has traveled widely, and her formal education includes degrees in anthropology, language teaching, as well as applied and fine arts. She has an abiding passion for the art, culture and music of Africa. She says, "much more than as a teacher, I think of myself as someone who opens doors -- the doors inside us that make it possible to discover creativity and richer communication with other people.".....

Vickie Fremont is an artist, designer and anthropologist.

As a teacher, she has developed programs for all ages based on recycling varied materials to make craft objects with an African inspiration.

She has conducted workshops at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, the Bank Street School of Education, City Colleges and many public and private schools and museums.

She organizes professional seminars and has lectured widely about the diffusion of African, African-American, and Caribbean and Latino material culture.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
