PEGI EYERS
FEMME is a group exhibition at Impresario Artisan Gallery in Cobourg showcasing 8 local and regional artists and artisans, who explore how their creativity can heal self, others, community and the Earth. The diversity of themes and media in this exhibition emphasize the healing powers of art-making on the body, mind and soul, and how the expressive arts can become a daily transformative or spiritual tool. Women have always been the wisdom keepers and healers, and we continue to “empower our dreams” to communicate and connect, and to envision new directions and new worlds through our art practice and healing modalities. Join us as we celebrate the provocative, revelatory and transcendent aspects of Women and the Healing Arts.
"At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer ~ a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity." Rachel Naomi Remen
