Transformative Growth – Paula and Sky Elion

“Transformative Growth” explores the multifaceted nature of change, capturing the essence of growth as a dynamic process that touches all aspects of life. This theme showcases a blend of photography and painting, each piece reflecting various stages and forms of transformation. From the vibrant urban scenes to the subtle shifts in nature, the exhibition presents a narrative of growth that is both personal and universal, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journeys and environments.

In this exhibition, Sky’s photography captures the lively energy and emotional depth of human experiences, documenting moments of celebration, pride, nature, and community. Complementing these photographs, Paula’s paintings offer an introspective view of growth, using expressive brushstrokes and experimental surfaces to depict personal transformations. Their work highlights human expression and symbiotic growth relationships between individuals and society.

For the first time, Paula is showing several paintings of Sky on flower paper wrapping. Her growth as a parent and the evolving relationship with Sky are subtly woven into the works, reflecting their shared journey and mutual influence.

Together, the photography and paintings create a cohesive narrative that accentuates the common theme of transformation, capturing the vibrant energy, emotional depth, and interconnectedness of all growth experiences.
