In addition to the aesthetic beauty and the historic importance of a work of fine art is the story that unfolds on its canvas. One can truly ‘read’ a painting as one does a book, identifying central characters and imagining the dialogue that takes place between them. Many of the true masters in art history are the great storytellers, those who stimulate our imaginations and bring their subjects to life on canvas. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the storytelling in this docent-led talk. Date | Thursday, February 17 from 11 a.m. to noon Location | Onlina via Zoom This is a free event open to the public, brought to you by the Timken Museum of Art.

Tarrah Aroonsakool is a queer, first-generation multi-disciplinary artist from San Diego, using watercolor not to paint a pretty picture of humanity, but an honest one, using found material and stylistic choices, while blending unconventional materials and the beauty of conventional realities. She uses common household items like cardboard, rice, tea, salt and coffee in her work. Ally Pizzo is a dark, figurative artist who uses mediums such as graphite, ink and watercolor to express themes of identity, depression and isolation. Many of the subjects in Ally's pieces are references of actors and models from the 1920s or self portraits. See their piece "Sacrifice" in person at The Brown Building.
