Love Embracing opens August 31, 2022 at TAG Gallery, 5458 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036. TAG is open 1pm-7pm, Wed-Sun.
Each of us is going through a difficult time. As an artist, I have reflected on many things during this pandemic. During the last several years, my values and outlook on life in general, have gradually changed; spiritually and physically, inside and out.
I often thought about the word love but its meaning always eluded me. I could not say what love was but knew what love did; love embraced. Love embraced people, love embraced nature, and love embraced God. “Love Embracing” was created using my favorite subject matter: the images of people, nature, and the words of God.
I hope my audience, recognizes my art as poetic and metaphorical, art that transcends time, rather than a mere snapshot of a moment in history.
