Light of Your Life 

 

The show consisted of selected photographs from community members who sent the artist images of things that brought β€œlight into their lives.” The photographs were turned into paintings and reflect the unity of humanity's experiences through color and the individuality of each image through line.

​

An evening of celebration took place February 3rd, 2013. The participants shared personal reasons why they chose a particular photograph, and their paintings were exhibited. 

 

From the artist, "My intention was to create paintings that had some depth to the subject matter. I wanted the art to be experienced not just as a painting on the wall, but also as a story. By asking others what brought joy into their lives, I feel like I was only adding to that joy by focusing on it. Even the act of sharing their love for their daughter, or dog, or fiancΓ© was spreading their joy with the rest of us. When I consider the effect of making a photo into a painting, and exhibiting it in a gallery, I have found that it puts the subject matter into a higher realm of consideration, and remarkably conserves that happiness in a new way." 

 

At the end of the evening each person took home their art, with only their participation as the fee.
