I’ve been wanting to participate in the AIGA Cincinnati Words of Wisdom Show for a while now and I finally pushed passed my comfort zone, put myself out there and entered two pieces this year! This event was back in March, however, showing in more community shows is something that’s been on my mind lately and I thought I’d share.
Below are a few pictures from the event. I also bought the “Climb Your Waterfall” print shown. I loved the detail yet simplicity of the linear illustration of the Koi fish swimming in the waves. Once, I discovered the artist’s (Lianna McKenzie) statement on the back stating, “As a symbol of strength and resilience, Koi fish are determined to persevere upstream. Despite how impossible the journey may seem, we as women know we must work harder, be stronger and be courageous as we navigate the world”, I was reminded to push through fear and keep going no matter what the circumstance. It resonated with me at a much needed time and I was happy to have stumbled upon it at the show.
For the fourth year, AIGA Cincinnati + WomanUp will honor Women’s History Month by presenting Words of Wisdom, a community gallery show. This event is generously sponsored and hosted by Deskey.
Words of Wisdom is a celebration of inspiring words of women in the world, showcased through unique works of art made by local creatives. This gallery show will be on Friday, March 29, 2019. Any proceeds from the show will benefit the Women’s Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
