“Our Road Marks Our Destiny”
Artists Maryrose Gondeck and Rebecca Tolle

Artist Statement:
Maryrose Gondeck - In my youth, I loved Art as a means of creating beauty, mostly using nature and portraiture realistically. After experiencing trauma, it became cathartic. I would stay up all night drawing intricate scenes that evolved from simple doodles. So, then what? I knew I wanted my work to continue being personal, but now, I also wanted to speak to the universal. My Art has followed my individual journey, now I am ready to follow the journey of the era in which I am embedded. I grew up in a safe and secure environment. I counted on God, my country, and the integrity of others. These are not calming times, and the road we choose now will mark our destiny.

Artist Statement:
Rebecca K. Tolle - I paint what is beautiful and fractured in the world before me. Sometimes those ideas become entwined, entangled and only partially recognizable. So much more interesting as the painting’s voice leads my strokes, moving deeper and becoming more intuitive. An impression that I hope others can connect with.

Gallery hours are 1-5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.
