Eating Flowers exhibit at Cloyde Snook Gallery November 30 through December 16 (11-21-05)
Jaddo Art Show
The Adams State College Cloyde Snook Gallery exhibit, Eating Flowers by painter Lahib Jaddo, opening reception is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, December 2.
According to her artist statement Jaddo relates to the universe around her visually so she paints to understand her inner worlds.
"My work is about ethnic heritage, place, contemporary life, sexuality, emotions, heroes, ghosts, alternative realities, and nature," Jaddo said. "It is about the places I've seen and the way in which I perceive things. My work is a culmination of trying to make sense of all those elements in a visual language, a language that I weave into story telling."
She has lived half her life the Middle East, and half of it in the United States. She said her work is a reflection of that mix.
"I don't define myself or my art as being one or the other. I am a mix of both worlds as is my work," Jaddo said.
Amy Alexander's Graduate Thesis Show, Architage, shows in the Hatfield Gallery from November 30 through December 16, with a closing reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, December 16.
