“Below The Surface” by Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation/Cherokee)
Contemporary multi-media artist Holly Wilson (Delaware Nation/Cherokee) has been exhibiting her intimate bronzes, photography, and encaustic relief paintings nationally and internationally since the early 1990s. Her figures serve as her storytellers to the world, conveying stories of the sacred and the precious, capturing moments of our day, our vulnerabilities and our strengths. The stories are at one time both representations of family history as well as personal experiences. Holly’s work reaches a broad audience allowing the viewer the opportunity to see their personal connection. She works in a variety of media including bronzes, encaustic, photography, glass and clay.
For Travois First Fridays, the exhibition will feature photography and sculptures. Read more about Holly on her website.
Join us Friday, March 1, from 6-8 p.m.
