Melody Epperson's “Groves: Where We Connect” opens at Next Gallery Friday, November 19, 2021

This collection of paintings is a pathway to reconnect to nature and discover the wisdom it holds. Through cold wax and oil paint Melody attempts to capture the essence of a place rather than an image of it. These paintings use shapes, textures and colors to transport the viewer to a very particular place and time. They are drawn from memories, some very old, some newer and some even explore the memories within nature herself.
A donation will be made with each purchase from “Groves” to the nonprofit organization One Tree Planted. Every tree planted makes a positive impact for nature, wildlife, and people.
