Local artists Jenny Flowers and Christi Ziebarth present a selection of the art exhibit titled "One Big Good: A Celebration of Freedom" on display with Warsaw Community Public Library now through May 31.
Joint artwork represents the visual voice of what Flowers and Ziebarth have coined artistic abolition.
Inspired by travels to Africa, Flowers displays bigger-than-life black and white conté portraits of Ghanaian orphans rescued from present-day child slave trade and suffering.
Artwork by Ziebarth provides illustrative insight into life stories and cultural roots through colorful acrylic mosaic-montage.
This collection of portraiture and illustration celebrates the future hope, healing and tremendous potential each child's life represents.
The public is invited to attend an artist's discussion workshop May 22 at 1 p.m. Highlights include a walk-through talk, media presentation with the Village of Hope Orphanage (Ghana), and discussion of artistic elements/inspirations.
Contact Warsaw Community Public Library for registration at 574-267-6011.
