“SHEDDING LAYERS” paintings by Elayna Sturm of The Fantasies of Youth - Opening Reception
"SHEDDING LAYERS" paintings by Elayna Sturm of The Fantasies of Youth at the Amherst Town Hall Gallery, on show March 4th 2025 through the end of April 2025.
Reception will be Friday March 7th at 6pm.
Shedding Layers explores both what we can shed to feel lighter, and what we can transform to create the lives and worlds we want to be a part of. Venturing to get to the core of what matters, Shedding Layers seeks to cultivate brighter joy and deeper roots.
Elayna Sturm is a lover of singing, a friend of trees, a hopeful curious witch, realm traveler, and an interdisciplinary artist. Elayna resides in Western Massachusetts, with ties to the North Shore of Massachusetts, the Bay Area of California, and the Olympic forests of Washington state.
