"I Am Woman" Black & White Art Show

MCKINNEY, Texas - Sept. 25, 2018 - PRLog -- I AM WOMAN

The art exhibition for Missy Burton's newest collection entitled, "I Am Woman" will be held at the McKinney Performing Arts Center and will run from October 6,2018 – October 13, 2018. In this body of work, Burton explores the powerful complexity of the female essence using black and white photography. There is an astonishing amount of detail intensity that is captured by Burton and later made visible through these colorless masterpieces. Just as a painting comes to life through each brush stroke and layers of paint, "I Am Woman" has been an evolution for Missy Burton as an artist.  The initial inspiration started with a single thought centered on the advancement of women and how far they have come in gaining equality throughout history.  As she continued to explore this concept through her viewfinder, a very different story started to emerge. A whirlwind of beautiful synergies ignited her passion to create a new series of stories called "I Am Woman".  As she began the curation process, she was compelled to write a piece of poetry for each image to make the stories even more compelling. These images and poetry answer the question, who is she?  She is the vessel for all humankind.  She is simultaneously mother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, grandmother, wife & matriarch.  She is a nurturer, yet she is neglected.  She is fearless, yet she is afraid.  She is hopeful, yet she is hopeless.  She is empowered yet she is enslaved. I am Woman exhibition viewers will be able to witness all of these phenomenal characteristics and more being portrayed in Burton's captivating art pieces. The opening artist reception on October 6^th, will also feature music, spoken poetry and light refreshments from 6:00p.m. – 9:00p.m. For additional information, please contact Aris Public Relations at 469-458-0287.
