Something Real I Can Touch Exhibit

About this event

Nevada Tribble is an interdisciplinary fiber artist who finds inspiration by seeking solace in nature. Her work is a sensory experience of color and texture, often featuring layered combinations of weaving, sewing, and handmade paper.

Nevada lives in Elkins, West Virginia, where the beauty and biodiversity of the Appalachian mountain landscape provide plenty of inspiration and fuel for her creativity. She exhibits her work regularly in galleries throughout the region and has received recognition and grant funding for several projects, including public art in her hometown. Nevada completed her BFA at Shepherd University in 2020 and completed a WV Folklife Apprenticeship with master weaver Margaret Bruning in 2025.

Nevada teaches workshops on weaving, fiber arts, papermaking, and more throughout the region, for both youth and adults. Nevada’s work has been published in the national publication Fiber Art Now, and she was awarded an Emerging Artist Fellowship from the WV Creative Network in 2020.
