Two women find themselves from opposite directions. “Inside Out” is a study in divergence. One artist discovers from within and the other from without. Both display stunning works of intense self-expression.

“My goal is for my work to help me better understand the world around me. Through the comparison of opposites I try to work out the conflicts I have with art, life and my inner self…”—Veronica Smith

“…I began swimming over a year ago, the pool served as a place for getting to know myself better. I spent many hours alone in the waters…Facing the water is like looking into a reflection pool. I sought identity within myself. Fighting through the waters renewed and refreshed my sense of being.”—Erin Swanson

Join us at AV Framing Gallery in May for “Inside Out”; and explore your own journey.

Come and see for yourself at AV Framing Gallery in Historic Fountain Square
