Sears, thoughtful discussion and optional activities for engaging with the artwork. The featured artist explores the human face in this exhibit of paintings and drawings. As we emerge from the Covid pandemic and the masks we wear to cover our faces, these artworks contemplate our human ability to mask or reveal emotions on the surface. The artist’s work has been described as symbolic, mythic, emotional, colorful, dream-like and nightmarish, always inviting the viewer to imagine beyond the surface.
