Join us at the Mary Anderson Gallery for the opening reception of “SoulScapes: Stepping Stones on a Spiritual Journey,” an art exhibition showcasing the profound work of Elaine Davis, a self-taught master of Realism. This exhibit is not just a display of paintings; it’s an invitation to journey into the soulful world of an artist deeply connected with the divine.

Elaine Davis draws inspiration from the tangible world and her spiritual connections with God’s creatures. She transforms photographs into profound works of art, capturing the essence of her subjects. Her paintings reflect not just reality but also her deep communion with the divine, offering viewers a gateway into her spiritual odyssey.

Highlights of the Exhibit:

  • The Animal Kingdom: Experience the divine in nature through Davis’s pet portraits. From the fierce gaze of a lion to the delicate flutter of a butterfly, each piece captures the soul and spirit of these creatures.
  • Sacred Divinity: Davis’s renderings of God’s creations resonate with profound reverence. While grounded in realism, they elevate the concept of the divine, bridging the earthly and the ethereal.
  • Landscapes of the Soul: Traverse through spiritual landscapes. From the serene calm of a secluded lake to the awe-inspiring might of mountain ranges, each piece reflects her connection to God and the universe.Event Details:
