Collective Visions Gallery is honored to present Veronica Lund as the featured artist for July. An award-winning Latinx fiber artist originally from South America, Veronica brings a bold and emotive voice to the ancient art of wet felting—merging tradition with a distinctly contemporary sensibility.
Now based in Bremerton, Veronica works out of her local studio, where she transforms wool and silk into rich, painterly compositions that blur the lines between fiber art and fine art. Her work has been exhibited in both Chile and the United States and has been featured in several publications for its striking originality and emotional depth.
“I have embraced the ancient technique of wet felting to create canvases of wool and silk,” Veronica explains. “My goal is to transform the fibers into pigmented brushstrokes in order to capture a body in motion or the subtle nuances of a human face.”
Her pieces explore the tension between what is decorative and what is functional, pushing fiber beyond its traditional boundaries. In her words, “Fibers are constantly alternating between art and artifact, between the utilitarian and the decorative. I have endeavored to bridge the chasm between brush and fiber to explore deeper relationships between humanity, nature, and technology.”
Veronica Lund’s work invites viewers to reconsider the expressive power of textiles—not just as craft, but as a medium of movement, intimacy, and meaning. Her show promises a tactile and thoughtful experience, full of texture, form, and quiet revelations.
Opening Reception: Friday, July 4, 5–8 PM
During the Bremerton First Friday Art Walk
