At The Horizon: A Series of Works by Lis Sartori - Opening Reception

Lis Sartori is a Boston-based fine artist whose dynamic, large-scale works transform discarded textiles into richly textured, abstracted landscapes. With a background that spans painting, printmaking, and illustration, including an M.F.A. in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and a B.A. in Art History and Studio Fine Arts from Union College (NY), her creative practice evolved dramatically after embracing fiber.

"At The Horizon" is a series that explores the horizon, the place where one world seems to touch another.

Using layers of raw fabric edges, Lis builds abstracted landscapes that hover between the seen and the sensed. Each piece begins with a simple line, but as colors and textures accumulate, the horizon becomes a shifting boundary: soft, porous, and continually redefined.

The horizon is not a fixed reality; it is a perception shaped by distance, weather, memory, and longing. In Lis' work, the frayed textile edges echo this instability, suggesting landforms that unravel and reform as light changes. Fabric, with its softness and vulnerability, becomes a metaphor for the way we experience the world, not in precise edges, but in layers of color, texture, and emotion.

These horizons invite viewers into a space of stillness and contemplation. They are places both familiar and unreachable, the line we spend our lives walking toward butnever arrive at.

This is an RSVP event - light food and refreshments will be served.

A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit the Mass Audubon Society - “Protecting the Nature of Massachusetts for People and Wildlife”
