Picturing Mary
November 25 - December 18, 2022
HeART Gallery, Toledo, OH
Michelle Arnold Paine’s architectural paintings of remembered places recall her sojourn in Italy for three years; the buildings she depicts are not only representations of actual locales, but also subconsciously familiar evocations of imagined sacred spaces. Her figurative drawings similarly explore the dichotomy of identity—universal and unique, spiritual and physical—through deliberately intangible portrayals of named models.

Michelle has an interesting vantage point to the role of her creativity in the broader community of the Church.
