111PREVIEWfigures and wildlife in her fairy tale-like
paintings, such as After March. “With
After March, I wanted to create a scene
that really celebrated the way the natural
world interacts with and inhabits my own
thoughts, as I see the increasing fragility
of the natural world around me,” Thomas
explains. “By having a woman lovingly
interacting with the wilderness and wildlife
that surrounds her, I hope to express the
importance of connecting with one another,
to preserve our kinship with nature, and the
wildness in ourselves.”
The small works exhibition will run from
December 1 through 30, and will spotlight
approximately 25 total pieces.
