COMMUNITY:

It may be a myth to say that individuals make art. Rather, in my experience, communities make art. Throughout the ages, individuals encouraged and informed by communities made art. The Italian Renaissance School, the French Impressionist School, the Barbizon School, the New York School, the London School and the Emma Lake School are just some of the very many communities renowned for empowering individuals to effectively express themselves visually.

Like many others, I have benefitted by living in such a community. From my youth as a university student to today, I have been surrounded by informed and supportive friends who share my interests. I am in debt to them in numerous ways, particularly through ongoing conversations and studio visits that have spanned decades. The exhibition “Community” is an acknowledgement of this continuous support.
