2020 As Interpreted By 7 Artists On Display At John James Audubon State Park
We can all agree that 2020 has been one of the most challenging and unusual years of our lifetime, not too mention one of the most emotionally and physically taxing. We've all seen the memes describing 2020 as the year of unimaginable things like "murder hornets" and toilet paper hoarding and there is no doubt that 2020 has been the kind of year that we will tell our children and grandchildren about years down the road.
2020 has been such an unusual year that I'm not even sure how one would go about trying to explain it to someone else. That being said, seven artists have turned 2020 into art in a range of mediums as well as styles. The paintings by Bill Burton, Katie Lowing, Iris Gentry, Susie Rideout, Terry Rone, and Cathe and Alan Hedgespeth express the feelings and emotions that these seven artists have experienced during this tumultuous time. The exhibit, named "A World Of It's Own," is on display now through February 2021 at John James Audubon State Park Museum. The exhibit will be on display and accessible during the following days and times, according to the state park website:
