The Gallery of New York Folk Art is presenting Textured Stories: An Exhibition featuring the work of Denise Allen, folk artist and master craftswoman from Palatine Bridge, NY through March 26th at the Gallery of New York Folk Art, 133 Jay St., Schenectady, NY. The gallery hours are 10 a.m to 4 p.m.

As a folk artist who predominately focuses on themes of African American colonial life and country living, Denise Allen creates one-of-a-kind textured artwork employing various techniques, prints, dolls, and story cloths. Her work has been featured nationally and internationally. In February 2010, she unveiled her latest piece, a 9-11 story cloth that will be housed at the forthcoming 9-11 memorial in New York City.
