RESURFACING: Paintings from the Last Three Years by Nancy Wiley

The title speaks to Nancy Wiley‘s move to Rochester as the pandemic was ending, which had been a time of great personal grief and loss.  Wiley felt she started over by putting most of her energy and focus into oil painting, after many years of working in small sculpture. This show is a culmination of the three years of work since the artist moved, so she is “resurfacing” in a new place with new work.

In addition, the process of painting on a canvas or wood is a form of “resurfacing”.
