Announcing adjusted hours during construction on Santa Fe Drive

DENVER, CO— Artist on Santa Fe Gallery presents “A Stitch in Time,” an exhibition of fiber works by Terise Harrington Phillips, on view August 20 - September 14, 2026. Rich with contrasting textures, color, and form, the collection explores the quiet tension between rigid patterns and organic growth, revealing unexpected moments of beauty along the way.

The public is invited to an artist reception on Third Friday, August 21, 5–9 p.m., to stop in during the First Friday Art Walk on September 4, 5–9 p.m. or to explore the show during the adjusted gallery hours during construction on Santa Fe Drive. Until further the notice, the gallery will be open 3 days a week— Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.– 5 p.m, and Sunday Noon – 4 p.m., including First and Third Friday Art Walks. Parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood as well as in the lot to the South of the building, accessible from the alley.

Phillips begins her pieces with a strict pattern and a palette of hand-dyed fabrics that suggests a direction. From there, she uses thread and paint as tools for layering, embellishing, and transforming. 

“I’m drawn to the delicate balance of contrasting textures, color, and form, where rigid patterns meet organic growth and unexpected beauty can appear,” says Phillips. “Through my art, I invite viewers to experience the beautiful tension and delicate balance that evolves with contrasting textures.”

Phillips is a Colorado artist with a passion for fabric and printmaking. She started working with fabric as a young girl, learning to sew with her mother, an accomplished seamstress and designer. While obtaining her degree in Fine Arts at Colorado State University, Phillips found new ways to create her own fabric by incorporating dying and printmaking techniques. She uses those in her art quilts interplaying stitching, paint and embroidery within her designs. Her unique work has been shown in numerous juried exhibitions, office buildings and galleries throughout the country.

Additional fine art by gallery members and resident artists, including paintings, ceramics, jewelry, mix media and sculpture, will also be on display.

Artists on Santa Fe Gallery, 747 Santa Fe Drive, has a rotating showcase of member artists ranging from sculptors and painters to printmakers and jewelers. The building is also home to the working studios of 25 + artists. Visitors are invited to explore and discover this exciting and enduring creative hub. Hours during construction are Fridays and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, Noon to 4 p.m., or by appointment. Open extended evening hours for art walks on the First and Third Friday of each month.
