Touch the Earth will run from November 5th through November 25th at A&M Studios.
Exhibition Statement: Creating the work in “Touch the Earth” brought me a sense of grounding in these uncertain times. The idea of grounding is that when we physically touch the earth, skin to earth, there are benefits to our mental and physical health as touching the earth brings one into the present moment. These pieces explore resilience, mindfulness and gratitude for the beauty and steadfastness of the often-overlooked details of the natural world. These works are about noticing the beauty and the profound in the mundane and fully embracing that mystery. If we allow the earth to hold us, we can reconnect to ourselves and can find stability in an unstable world.
Thank you for your interest in my work! If you purchase artwork, I will get in touch with you at the end of the show, to arrange either pick up, delivery, or shipment. Please be sure that your contact information is complete.
