Julie Sevilla Drake: How to Love This World
December 1, 2026 – January 2, 2027
Opening Reception: Wednesday, December 2, 3–6 PM
Textile Art Gallery NYC presents How to Love This World, an exhibition of quilts and mixed-media works by Julie Sevilla Drake.
Having lived a lucky, rambunctious life, including more than 30 years in Alaska, Drake draws inspiration from the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and the complexities of the natural world and human experience. Her work embraces mayhem, mystery and mischief, finding inspiration in both the wonders of nature and the sorrows and happiness of humanity.
As Drake reflects, the world is held in all this tension. Her artistic practice is an expression of her engagement with that world: its beauty, contradictions, unpredictability and capacity to surprise. Working from her studio on Fidalgo Island, Washington, she creates work that reflects a deeply personal relationship with the world around her.
“Making art is how I love this world.”
Visit How to Love This World at Textile Art Gallery NYC, 529 West 20th Street, 6th Floor, Suite 6R, New York, NY 10011.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 AM–6 PM
Admission: Free. All are welcome.
