Exhibition Statement (provided by the artists)
Sara's recent work explores the themes of Doppelgängers, doubles and identities. These works are a contemplative exploration of what lies in the space between multiple selves.
Eileen’s current body of work is inspired by found images on Social Media, enjoying the profoundly different way that portraiture now comes to us through a proliferation of selfies in our daily feeds. She considers these works to be a collaborative, community building experience.
About the Artist (provided by the artists)

Eileen French is a painter who has lives in Charlottesville and has a studio at the McGuffey Art Center.
