On Saturday, April 30th, 10am-6pm artist Rachel Brask will be at the Churchwood Gallery at Preservation Framer all day during gallery hours to interact with on the very last day to see the exhibition. Coffee & Croissants 10am-1pm.
In this intimate and deeply personal collection of paintings, Rachel Brask channels some of the bittersweet grief and broken beauty she experienced mourning the illnesses and deaths of her father and father-in-law within months of each other. The rainy paintings in this collection are inspired by recalling the skies and landscape experienced by the artist and her husband during milestones in their fathers’ respective end of life journeys.
During times of crisis and loss we look to the skies for many reasons: asking questions, needing escape, seeking answers, expressing anger, 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.
