"As You Are," an exhibition of painting, drawing, and photography, focuses on the work of three female artists: Melanie Parke, Janica Yoder, and Anne Siems. Each offers her contemporary interpretation of the female form.
Janica Yoder's sentimental floral portraits serve as metaphors of love and loss, beauty, and the women in her family. By isolating flowers on simple black backgrounds, Yoder shapes a thorough narrative through the manipulation of light and humble flowers.
Known for more ethereal and utopian images, Anne Siems’ latest paintings take on a distinctly more forward, unabashed, and powerful posture. Siems’ women explore tattoos as a signal of inner wildness, declaring their stories and fables, mythical belonging, and rites of passage.
In Melanie Parke's new Domus Series the artist explores ideas of longing, desire, and re-imagined safe spaces for women in brilliant color. Known for beautiful interiors and still lifes, Parke's works on paper are filled with spontaneity and a return to figuration.
