In this collection of new paintings, female figures take center stage, unapologetically transcending the traditional gaze. Artist, Jill Althouse-Wood, harnesses the language of color, pattern, setting, and scale to immerse you in the rich tapestry of her subjects’ inner lives. Each canvas is a testament to the indomitable spirit of women who have faced the challenges of a pandemic, family dynamics, shifting work landscapes, and the loss of reproductive autonomy. The exhibit opens on Friday, November 3, 2023, will remain through November 27th.
Jill Althouse-Wood lives in Arden, DE. She is a founding member of the Arden Artisans Collective and has been awarded a 2023 Delaware Division of the Arts fellowship in painting.
