Great American Road Trip
Opening Reception July 11, 2019
Amherst Town Hall
4 Boltwood Ave, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002 
 
"Please join me at the Amherst town hall for the opening of my art exhibit during the Thursday Art Walk. 
"The Great American Road Trip" series features art pieces colorfully depicting vintage cars and trucks “traveling” all over the United States. 
The inspiration behind the show is my experience as a mother of young children, feeling trapped at times, lacking the freedom to go where-ever, when-ever! I chose to feature vehicles because the car is a symbol of total freedom. You can jump in and go anywhere at a moment’s notice. The nostalgia of the antique vehicles from 1940-1970 is an important aspect of my work. The intention is to evoke a sense of “the good old days”. Conveying the idea of being young and free and perhaps of “simpler” times. "
