Carbondale Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
Carbondale Community Arts is excited to announce the exhibit A Grandmother’s Son, Portraits of Unfortunate Assumptions by artist Tanya Gadbaw-Neitzke on view July 5 - July 27 at Artspace 304. The series of paintings explores a personal story stemming from the artist's own assumptions about her uncle while she was growing up, which made their relationship difficult. After her uncle passed she learned more about him and wished she had moved passed those assumptions. The work captures portraits of men who remind Gadbaw-Neitzke of her uncle through appearance or the good qualities she had missed.
View additional works from the series In Memory by Tanya Gadbaw-Neitzke at the Corridor Gallery at the Carbondale Civic Center for the month of July.
