SUMMARY:Christine Mirabal: Escape! - opening reception
DESCRIPTION:Join Christine Mirabal for an opening reception for her art exh
 ibit\, "Escape!"\n\nArtist Statement\n\nThe focus of Christine's art is pr
 imarily the natural world. She finds it soothing to depict skies and cloud
 s\, forests and creeks\, and seas and rocks\, as well as animals. In the p
 aintings in this exhibit\, the theme is escape.\n\nNature is a place that 
 many people run to. It provides nourishment for the soul and brings peace 
 to troubled minds. These pieces invite the viewer to put aside their cares
  and step into worlds that are familiar and at times\, comforting. They va
 ry from starry skies\, to smooth seas\, to babbling brooks. But dark\, moo
 dy\, clouds and wild vegetation are also included as Nature has many facet
 s and not all of them are calm. Still\, Nature is a part of humanity and t
 o escape to her is to run home.\n\nArtist Biography\n\nChristine Mirabal i
 s an emerging Latina artist who has been painting with acrylics for over t
 hree years. Her style is abstract and nature inspired. She mainly paints l
 andscapes\, animals\, and flowers. Other subject matters include cityscape
 s\, feminism\, and the depiction of underrepresented voices. Her pieces ra
 nge from colorful to black-and-white and are playful\, though sometimes en
 igmatic. She challenges the viewer to figure out their meaning and in doin
 g so\, draw closer to themselves.\n\nShe also creates mini-zines\, writing
  prompts\, and handmade journals. In addition\, she performs and teaches i
 mprov and writes poetry.\n\nEmail Christine at quirky.artist.chris@gmail.c
