LICG member Galina Carroll will present slides of samples of her work for knitting magazines, exhibitions and custom orders.

Her creative journey began with a degree in industrial design from the Academy of Art and Industrial Design, St. Petersburg, Russia, but her true passion has always been fashion and textiles. By day, she worked as an industrial designer, but evenings were devoted to creating fashion.

The first significant milestone was when her knitwear and fiber jewelry were selected for a juried art exhibition. This recognition led to fashion shows in St. Petersburg, Russia and later to showcases in Germany and France. After relocating to the United States, she held her first exhibit and fashion show at the CASE Museum in Jersey City in 1992.

Galina has designed for knitting magazines, sweater companies, private clients and runway shows. In recent years, her knitwear has gained international recognition and her handwoven tapestries have been exhibited at the Huntington Arts Council (HAC), the Art League of Long Island (ALLI), and the Conklin Barn of the Huntington Historical Society (HHS).

Her most recent exhibition, “Reaching Hands,” held in Kyoto, Japan in 2023, was a highlight of her creative journey. The collection sold out within two days, with visitors drawn to the playful yet sophisticated energy of her whimsical pockets and funky details on sweaters and hats.
