On Wednesday, October 26 Asheville School will host an art opening featuring work by Hannah Seng and Elizabeth Porritt Carrington. Their show is titled “Obair na Mban” (pronounced OB-er na MON), which translates to “Women’s Work.”
Seng and
Porritt Carrington were first connected by their love of Ireland, and they soon
discovered they also shared an affinity for the practice and process of
painting. Both artists are compelled to work directly from nature—they draw
meaning and replenishment from time spent outdoors. That inspiration
is evident
on their canvases where the natural world is represented through bold colors,
whimsy and imagination.
The artists
will attend the opening, which will be in Asheville School’s John M. Crawford
Gallery on Wednesday, October 26 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The evening will
also feature live music and light hors d’oeuvres. The event is free and open to
the public.
Directions
to Asheville School are here.
