The Arboreal Me by Rebecca Prato

12:00 pm to 04:00 pm
Gather :handmade shoppe & Co:, 101 W Kirkwood Ave Suite 112
http://gathershoppe.com

A self-portrait need not encompass traditional ideas- one can even break away from depicting one’s face, the element typically associated with self-portraits; in my photography the tree has become symbolic of myself which has led me to realize I am creating “self-portrayals” that allow me to create pieces that are as diverse as I am.

Exhibit runs until October 2.
