Healing Our Own: Breast Cancer Awareness by U-M FWC (Faculty Women's Club) – Painting Section
- October 01, 2024 - November 21, 2024
GROUP STATEMENT:
The Healing Our Own: Breast Cancer Awareness exhibition embodies the transformative power of art. Be it the act of creating art or admiring it, art is healing. The artist experiences a mind/body synergism as they bring ideas to life in the physical world, yet the physical world falls away while the artist is in creative flow. A timeless peace takes over as the artwork is born.
To the viewer, an art piece can be inspirational, exhilarating, profound, and/or moving. There is no limit to the positive effects a piece can have on an individual. It is the greatest gift to the artist when they touch someone's soul.
The world we all live in is the root of inspiration for our group. Whether we travel to far off lands or sit in our gardens, we find the spark to spur our creativity.
