Acclaimed artist Sabrina Tillman
High Point, NC (June 7, 2024) – The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards (TAG) is hosting an artist reception Thurs., June 20 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. for “Once Upon a Muse,” a captivating exhibit by acclaimed artist Sabrina Tillman.
Through a series of thought-provoking paintings and mixed media pieces, this exhibit explores the deep and complex connections between muse and creator.
“As I strive to portray both the strength and vulnerability inherent in the human condition, my most recent series, “Double Consciousness,” is infused with symbolic elements and imaginative explanatory scenarios as a means of personal self-expression and communication through art,” Tillman said. “These works challenge the viewer to look beyond the surface, engaging with themes of transformation, resilience, and the interplay between the natural and the spiritual.”
