RestorationART presents IWE

Opening Reception Fri, Feb 8 at 6:30pm

Exhibition Runs Fri, Mar 29

The "IWE" theme is important to me. "IWE" is the individual "I" combined with the greater "WE," thus creating "IWE". We all have unique energies and when these energies are combined, they create a beautiful universe.

I believe that the role of the artist is to communicate, document and inspire thought. The artist must evoke the energy of feelings. My work is often 3 dimensional because I feel the artist is trying to create a 3-dimensional world on a 2-dimensional surface. Larry Weekes
