G44 Gallery is proud to present the work of artist Lori DiPasquale with her latest exhibit, 'Introspection.'

 Introspection

 ɪntrəˈspekʃən, noun

The observation of one’s own mental and emotional processes.

During the long and challenging past two years dealing with the unprecedented pandemic,

I found myself with time to reflect.  When the busy life and the constant going and doing comes to a stall, one can’t help but look deeply and examine what really matters.

What do I want my life to look like once we get back to “normal”?

What are the lessons and blessings in this time of pause and reset?

I am grateful for my life and the safety of my friends and family, emerging with a greater sense of appreciation for gathering and community, casual talks over a glass of wine, a spontaneous hug,  a brilliant smile.

The silver lining of a life interrupted is the reminder that all we really have is now….

So what is it that you want to do with your one and only precious life?

I want to paint.

I want to express myself through colors and layers and textures.

I want to emote and provoke.

I want to encourage and challenge.

I want to embrace the light and the darkness.

I want to become more fully me.
