re•creation (A Play on Words) is a solo contemporary art exhibition, crafted with the goal to uplift each viewer. It is an homage to my days working in early childhood education and as a nanny. In that line of work I was trained in the philosophy that “children learn through play.” Throughout my practice I have learned that this concept is also true with people of all ages. We all are constantly learning and developing in this life. Recreation can look very different for each person but in this show it is my hope that through play the viewer can experience the depth of life’s complex lessons. Although our lives can be challenging, learning doesn’t always have to be charged by fear. This exhibition seeks to put the fun back into fundamentals.
