“Entwined” marks the first exhibition at The Woodlands Arts Council to feature the work of a married couple. Bob Mosier and Karen Fearon, partners for 32 years, built parallel careers as educators at The John Cooper School. Now retired, they continue to cultivate distinct artistic practices, united by a deep sense of connection that resonates throughout their work.
Bob’s foundation in sculpture informs his intricate thread paintings, composed through both machine and hand stitching and often incorporating miles of thread. What begins as two-dimensional drawings evolves into complex geometric compositions, blurring perception and expanding into increasingly sculptural, three-dimensional forms.
Karen’s practice spans expressive drawings and paintings, driven by intuitive, spontaneous mark-making, as well as illustrative works and dimensional assemblages. Her process channels subconscious energy, giving each piece a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.
Together, their work explores light, form, and value, as well as the dynamic balance, the yin and yang, of the creative process. Both artists incorporate found, discarded, and reclaimed materials, imbuing their sculptural and assemblage works with new life and meaning.
Beyond the visual arts, Mosier and Fearon are accomplished dulcimer musicians, extending their creative dialogue into sound.
