Local Artist Jean Humphrey
In October, 2009, the gallery at ‘one speckled egg’ had the special honor of exhibiting local artist and dear friend, Jean Humphrey’s powerful body of work based on her personal experiences in coping with her husband’s battle with Alziemer’s disease.
The artwork comprises of paintings and sculptures created during and after her husband’s illness, and serve as both a personal healing therapy and a powerful message of hope to all who view the work. By publicly displaying this artwork Jean hopes to raise awareness and create a more open arena for discussion about this devastating disease, which affects an increasing number of families each year. Jean was in attendance during the exhibit and visitors to the gallery had the opportunity to connect with the artist and discuss her work and creative process. The sculptures in particular evoke a strong emotional response, and most attendees were moved by this amazing body of work.
The gallery at ‘one speckled egg’ was extremely honored to present this talented artist and her thought-provoking work.
