March 2021 | Sun Dances: Julia Kay

All Hallows’ Eve
19 x 25 inches
Hand cut paper
$325.

Virtual Exhibit Opens March 6th

Zoom Reception: Sunday, March 28, 4:00 PM

The Sun Dances series is based on the shadows cast by the artist’s large-leafed tropical plants. This series has been one of the major themes in Kay’s work for the past 20 years. The pieces in the series range from recognizable plant shadows to completely abstract, with most artwork styles somewhere in between.
