Patricia Aaron’s exhibition, “Inspired,” is on view through May 19. You’re invited to join her for an Artist Talk on Saturday, May 16 at 12:30pm.
“Material exploration lies at the center of Patricia Aaron’s work. Encaustic wax, inks, oils, acrylics, and textiles coexist within layered compositions. Each piece develops through cycles of construction and disruption, revealing a visual language shaped by time, memory, and material. Together, these pieces trace an ongoing conversation between past and present—between ideas first imagined more than two decades ago, and those still unfolding.”
