On view: July 7 – September 6th, 2025
Reception: August 1, 5:00-7:30pm | Event Info Much of my work is created out of an overflow of the thoughts churning in my mind as I stand before the easel with brush in hand. Musical lyrics, prayers, and books that I am reading all find their way into every brushstroke on the canvas. Those thoughts are just as much a part of a piece as the paint itself, and therefore, often find their place as titles of my paintings.
“Sehnsucht” ( zeen- zookt) is a series of paintings born out of spending time in the writings of one of my favorite authors, CS Lewis. Lewis explored the idea of humankind’s spiritual hunger and a shared experience described as, “sehnsucht” , a German word used by many poets and writers of the Romantic era to describe a profound, yet fleeting longing for something we can’t explain, but know that it is beyond anything we will find in this world.... |
