Roots

I am excited that some of my reliquaries will be on display in the "Roots" exhibition at the Franklin Commons Gallery in Pheonixville, PA.


I was asked to write something about my pieces in relation to the exhibition. 

My words:

This series is a set of my own personal reliquaries. These paintings contain objects that i have gathered over the years. While they might seem unimportant, they have become cherished objects to me because they represent an important experience in my life. Often these objects also reference the history of my family or ideas from different cultures that inspire me. I created a painting in response to each object and tried to express the reason for my attachment to it.  As with most of my work, while I might have a very personal meaning for the paintings, I try to keep them open so that each viewer might be able to form their own connection to them.


The pieces included-
