SUMMARY OF THE ART EXHIBIT THEME:
LIFE IS BETTER TOGETHER
As an artist, I travel around the world connecting cross-culturally with diverse communities, coming alongside others through creativity, joining in conversations with people from all walks of life and diversity of backgrounds. I enjoy listening to people’s stories of who they are. Sharing human to human, heart to heart. And no matter where I’ve traveled I’ve learned that we as humans (regardless of age, race, gender, culture, religion) have more in common than we differ. We all have a desire to belong…belong to our family, to our tribe, to our community, to our world. The innate understanding that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. And we all have a desire to know who we are…to know who we are in relation to our family, our tribe, our community, our world. The innate understanding that we are individually important within that bigger something.
This exhibit is an exploration through mixed media abstract expressionist paintings that embraces the topic that we are better together. Not separate and alone. When we are brave to drop our masks of performance and pride, break down the walls built by fear and pain that divide us , admit that we all experience sorrow, loss, fear, pain, joy, faith, hope, and love. If we can stay open to seeing and hearing each other…really seeing and hearing, and reach out to each other in genuine gratitude, forgiveness, and humility….we will become who we are meant to be.
