She heads CFEVA’s Visual Artist Fellowship\, and has mounted numerous exhibitions throughout the region.

She has exhibited extensively\, and her work appears in numerous national and international collections including SEI’s West Collection. \nAbout Sharif Pendleton of PLAID\nSharif is a designer of many things. He has made a career of developing interactive learning for corporations\, but he’s best known for laser-cutting beautiful\, functional products that are love letters to pop culture. He loves to take a thought\, conversation or long established truth and re-imagine it on or as a product. Within a year of joining NextFab as on of its first members\, in 2009 Sharif established Masters of None\, a business that specialized in making urbane often tongue-in-cheek products that are useful and make people smile. In 2017 he re-imagined and relaunched Masters of None as Philadelphia Laser & Industrial Design (aka PLAID). After relaunching\, Sharif opened a storefront at Cherry Street Pier. In 2019\, he took over Phillylovenotes\, another long-established brand started at NextFab. Through his storefront and web-shop\, Sharif sells his work\, a curated collection of products from other designers and custom design services. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo download Zoom please click HERE.
