Exhibiting in the Blackfoot Communications Gallery through end of May
The ZACC is proud to present ‘Empowering Women Paintings’, works by Amanda Mazur, in our Blackfoot Communications Gallery for the month of May, opening First Friday, May 5 from 5 to 8 PM.
ARTIST STATEMENT
This is a collection of my first acrylic paintings. Earlier paintings capture my love of the world's beauty through the landscape while more recent paintings focus on women. Throughout my art, I try to speak to the resilience & strength present in times of struggle with a theme of strong women. I aim to share emotions of joy, pain, and fear in my art while showing the growth that comes with experiencing these feelings that many of us share. During this time, I hope that these paintings serve as a reminder that no one is alone in what they are feeling. Many of these paintings are inspired by the strong women in my life that surround me and continuously support me.
