New in the Trusler Gallery: A.L. Redden – Left Under the Surface
February 1st – 24th · Artist Reception: February 2nd 4-6pm
Amy Redden is a high school English Teacher in the Kansas City Metro Area. While she has never had formal lessons or training, art has always been her solace and a way to express herself. From illustrating her poetry collection Hindsight to creating cards and stickers, Amy has enjoyed creating things. To her, creation is as essential as breathing.
For her debut show, Left Under the Surface, Amy chose to create a singular feeling, rather than a concrete object. This show focuses on what we cannot say or what has gone unsaid. Whether it is a look, a silence, or an absence, we have all left things unsaid. Combining watercolor, gold leaf, and poetry, this collection explores all the times we have remained silent.
Amy hopes that you enjoy the pieces as much as she has, and that this would be an encouragement to be bold enough to be honest.
