'Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.' Emily Bronte
Arlynn Bloom, exhibiting on Floor 3, shares,"Painting affords me the opportunity to express my impressions of the world around me." As evidenced by her ability to capture light falling through leaves, her work evokes an emotional response to everyday moments. Artist Judy Shintani invites visitors to Floor 4 to use intuition to find their appropriate nature shield. "The plants were intuitively gathered to adorn and infuse the shields with qualities of healing, perception, power, transformation, and beauty," she explains. The feminine shaped shields honor the strength and serenity women carry for their family, community, and the planet. With interests in fantasy, archetypes and abstracted landscapes, painting is a spiritual and visceral activity for Floor 5 artist Heather Hanan. "Paintings can be painted as prayers and I admit I do this. Think of them as visually feeling through some kind of inter-dimensional feeling points and you'll see some narratives that are uniquely yours." With a reverence for nature fostered by cloud-filled skies, gorgeous sunsets and prairie wildflowers during her childhood in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Carole Fitzgerald, showing on Floor 6, devotes her art practice to painting wildflowers in their native habitat, often working with botanists on native plant restoration projects. Utilizing a palette knife instead of brushes, H. Alex Santurio's work is inspired by the two most important things in his life: nature and family. Each painting in his Petit Jardin series, showing on floor 7, is a tribute to a member of his family.
The exhibit covers 5 floors of the Women's Health Center: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Reception Wed, Oct 29 5:30-7:30p.
