BEARING WITNESS
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 12th, 7-10pm
Exhibition runs until June 9th

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” ~ Maya Angelou

The concept of the show is “Bearing Witness” a term for living life in a way that reflects fundamental truths. Bearing witness is about getting relationships right. The show will explore the symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural world. At this critical time in history, we need to reorient ourselves in how we relate to each other and to the earth. Susan is planning to create paintings with oils, and mixed media art using sculpture and textiles.
