Mical Aloni
Mical Aloni is one of the world's great embroidery artists. The self-taught artist has invented virtuosic embroidery techniques for the creation of light effects ranging from the transparency of glass and fabric to the shimmering gossamer surface of butterfly wings.
Mical Aloni was born in Israel in 1963. She graduated from the University of Tel Aviv with degrees in art history and philosophy. She earned culinary distinction at the Academe de Cuisine in Maryland. Aloni moved to the United States in 1989 and has lived in Taos, New Mexico for eight years.
In Taos, she's known almost as well for her culinary genius as for her virtuoso skills as an embroiderer. Mical has had one cookbook published, which contains her color pencil illustrations, and is at work on another. Early in her career Aloni's embroidery artistry was recognized by famed violinist Isaac Stern who commissioned her to create a 'patch' for one his violin cases.
Aloni has been represented by The Parks Gallery since 1998. In 1999 her work was included in a prestigious exhibition, 'Realism, PhotoRealism, SuperRealism', at the Harwood Museum in Taos. In June, 2000, The Parks Gallery presented her first one-person show, 'Eclipse - New Embroideries.' The success of her two one-person shows in 2001 was followed by exposure in Fiber Arts and Stitch Magazine in early 2002. The American Craft Museum in New York has acquired a recent work, the Elf Princess.
Since early 2001, Mical has been collaborating with Taos' photography artist, Assaf Reznik. Their unique artwork features under the pseudonym M.A. Rezoni, and was debuted at the 'Masks and Mysteries' exhibit at Nomad Gallery in May, 2001.
