An Inevitable Beauty
What was lost is found again in paint and clay.
An exhibition by Sara Wiens, Ilena Lee Cramer and Julie Andres
Three women artists who strive to find beauty in the cache of clay discovered along a shoreline, the ashen remains of a forest fire, or in the dark mirror of a puddle holding summer’s fallen leaves as they decay.
Loss and change can be devastating, and the struggle to find what lies beyond the ruins can be great. But we can and do find it, find beauty, inevitably.
Join us for the opening to our show at the Hearth Gallery on Bowen Island.
