Simone McLeod, "Praying for Humanity," 2022
Opening reception Saturday, April 23 Artist in Attendance from 2 – 4 PM
When I first began to paint, I saw my paintings as prayers, prayers to guide people to feel more human and more humane. I use the Seven Teachings as a guide in my works: Honesty, Humility, Courage, Love, Wisdom, Truth and Respect. When followed, these teachings bring us to a better understanding of how to live harmoniously in this world. When I finish a piece, I make sure the title is written on the front of the canvas as a little prayer. The words are there to reminds us of what we might need to find peace. -Simone McLeod
