Masks for the New Year: The Persistance of Butterflies

 

                                   "A Mask for the Far Journey" (2025)

My own exhibit of masks (and a painting called "Seeing in the Dark")  at the Visionary Art Show  I curated with Stevens Gallery Director Betina Fink.  Butterflies, it seems to me, are a hopeful symbol of transformation.......the thing about masks is, you put them on, and then they reveal their story.
