Unmasked: Self Portraits of 2021
For the third year in a row, I entered a wall hanging quilt in the annual self portrait art show at Studio 402 in the Anderson Arts Building. Nancy Valle, local artist, has hosted this self portrait show in her studio/gallery each January for the past 3 years.
This year’s self portrait show features 62 local artists. As Nancy says, “62 local artists visually represent themselves and find creativity in a challenging year. Isolation can invite introspection. From representational to abstract to conceptual – works in drawing, painting, printmaking, encaustic, mixed-media, photography, fiber art and sculpture fill the gallery.”
This year the exhibit has been extended until March 13, but by appointment only beginning later in February. You can contact her (nancy.valle@mac.com) to set up a time for a private viewing. Meanwhile, here is a video:
