ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
This collection of Rachel Brask's paintings are an expression of wayfinding through grief, joy, and memory, while embracing hope and light, after navigating the compounded loss of two fathers in the same year.

During times of crisis and loss we look to the skies for many reasons: asking questions, needing escape, seeking answers, expressing outrage, needing hope, searching for meaning, observing in awe, and craving connection. All the while seeking the light in the darkness, hope in the abysmal, and beauty in the storm.

"These rain paintings are for anyone feeling, healing, or dealing with grief, recent, or from awhile ago," states Rachel Brask. "Grief is a journey that nobody wants to find themselves on. I am to paint the light and hope that I see along the way -- to create a calm and contemplative space for people to take a moment to breathe and reflect."

Rain also has a special ability to provide a quiet veil upon which we recall memories, contemplate meaning, and give us pause that can quiet our thoughts and allow some peace.
