Please join me for the opening reception to my MFA Thesis Exhibition, Tightrope! I am very excited to share my hard work from the past 2 and a half years. Come see the work “in the flesh”, talk about art, connect with others, and celebrate with me! Hope to see you there.
My MFA thesis exhibition, Tightrope, highlights the meaningful and precarious nature of everyday life. From the title, the work in the exhibition recognizes the delicate balance necessary when satisfying the demands of social, personal, or artistic expectations. Drawn primarily from the experience of starting a family, higher education, and the pursuit of artistry, my paintings explore balance as a practical theme, as well as the way in which tensions in beliefs, emotions and opinions manifest themselves in the mundane. I see the commonplace as an arena for sacred reflection on the complex nature of being, and an opportunity to join the longstanding subject of genre painting.
Reception: Tuesday, February 4, 6 — 8 pm (Light refreshments will be served)
