Through\nimaginative aesthetics and intuitive art-making\, this exhibition\ncelebrates feminine energy and the power of archetypal women in lore\nand history. The exhibi tion\, which runs from March 7-29\, includes art\nfrom Kathy Daywalt\, Deb orah Johnson\, Rachel Romano\, and Pritha\nSrinivasan.  An opening recept ion will be held on Saturday\, March 7\,\nfrom 5:00 to 6:30 pm\, which is free and open to everyone. Join the\ngallery staff and exhibitors for an e vening of fine art and\ncomplimentary food and drink. Attendees will have the opportunity to\nmingle with some of the show’s participating artists .  Kathy\nDaywalt is an award-winning artist who has been honing her craf t for\nmore than 40 years. She works in a variety of media\, but has opted to\ninclude watercolors in this exhibit. She has been included in numerou s\njuried exhibitions and solo showcases. Her interest in figures\nand be autifully patterned compositions is evident in her work. Her\nlong experie nce with linocut printmaking has carried over into her\npainting\, as she employs artist-made linocut stamps as well as found\nobjects to create her richly textured\, patterned paintings. Kathy’s\nwomen feel more like ch aracters than subjects\, as their universal\nappeal could place them anywh ere in the world. The flattened and\nelongated figures wearing royal regal ia\, along with the appearance of\nmosaics and icons\, give the pieces a m edieval feel\, evoking imagery\noften associated with folklore and mytholo gy. Deborah Johnson is a\nmultidisciplinary artist whose work explores the connection between\ninner life and the natural world. Working primarily i n oil and cold\nwax\, she creates layered\, atmospheric paintings in which women\,\nanimals\, water\, and landscape merge into a single emotional sp ace.\nDeborah’s practice is rooted in material knowledge and traditional \nhand processes\, allowing each medium’s physical properties to shape\n the final image. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries\nthr oughout the United States and has been featured in institutional\ncollecti ons\, invitational exhibitions\, and community-based\ninstallations. For “She Who Shines\,” Deborah is showing off both\nher oil paintings and kiln-formed glasswork. Her luminous pieces fuse\nwomanhood with the natura l world\, exploring the quiet intersection of\nfigure\, environment\, and inner life. While the glass pieces rely on a\nlimited palette and fundamen tal curvilinear shapes\, her paintings\nexplore light\, shadow\, and color . Rachel Romano is a surrealist\nfigurative painter. Her inspiration is ro oted in humanity’s\nadversity\, strength\, resilience\, and absurdity of life. She considers\nherself a storyteller for adults\, expressing the my ths and experiences\nof humanity. She has been featured in numerous public ations\, blogs\,\nand interviews\, and her sketchbook and working drawings are in the\npermanent collection of The Pennsylvania Historical Society i n\nPhiladelphia. Rachel’s surreal oil paintings are bold\, colorful\, an d\nsymbolic. Each object featured in a scene serves as a metaphor for a\nd eeper meaning. Conversely\, her pencil pieces offer the same\nstorytelling but through stripped-back scenes and monochromatic\npalettes.  Pritha Sr inivasan is a Mid-Atlantic self-taught\ncontemporary artist who has been c reating art since childhood. Her\naward-winning figurative and nature-base d watermedia artwork\ncelebrates the wonders within and the fleeting momen ts we share on\nlife’s collective journey. She uses watercolor and acryl ic to convey\nher unique narrative\, deeply influenced by her cultural her itage\,\ntravels around the world\, literature\, and an abiding love of na ture.\nBy combining dynamic color with detail\, her artwork transforms bot h\nthe mysterious and familiar into something radiant and visionary. She\n displays her artwork locally in juried art exhibits\, in addition to\ntaki ng part in several invitational group shows. The ethereal women in\nPritha ’s watercolors are bathed in technicolor. While defined in\ntheir faces\ , the realism begins to fall away in other elements of the\npaintings\, su ch as the garments\, hair\, and backgrounds. The vibrant\npigments flow fr eely across the surface in an explosion of spirited\ncolor. “She Who Shi nes” is on display from March 7-29. Works from\nthe show can be previewe d at www.peninsula-gallery.com and are\navailable for pre-sale.  The gall ery is located in the Shops at the\nBeacon\, 520 East Savannah Rd. Lewes\, DE\, and is open Tue-Sat 10-5\, and\nSun 11-3. Venue: Peninsula Gallery.
