Summer Arts Residencies: Meredith Gill Hemphill, Painting

Come see Meredith’s work!
Visual Art Opening on Fri 7/10 at 6p | Free

ABOUT THE RESIDENCY: “During the residency, I plan to merge my interest in the psychological and emotionally evocative in paintings that explore a person's multifaceted nature with figuration, and abstraction through the universal symbol of the circle. Circles symbolize to me an individual, a life, the universe, a cell, completion and change. I plan to employ a variety of media and mediums - acrylic and oil on wood and canvas, and collage. In everything I paint, I’m drawn to the simple yet emotionally complex, odd and characterful, and to shifting perspectives, moving between microscopic and aerial views.”

Meredith is a therapist and artist currently enrolled in New York Studio School's certificate program in Fine Arts.
