Emergence: Creativity, Illness and Healing
Hopkins Center for the Arts is proud to present Emergence: Creativity, Illness and Healing, an exhibition of paintings and sculptural installations by Gail Wallinga in the HCA Upper Lobby Gallery.
Bringing awareness to invisible disability, this exhibition depicts various stages of Gail Wallinga’s healing journey from Lyme disease. In paintings and sculptural installations, she demonstrates beauty and how meaningful creations can emerge from arduous experiences.
