MARTHA SAVAGE @ACTIVE WELLNESS
+ FREE GUIDED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
|
|
Join us on Saturday, October 12th from 1-6PM for City-Wide Open Studios at Active Wellness.
Showcasing the artwork of our personal training client, Martha Savage! Her work illustrates the role of movement, nature, mindfulness, perspective and reflection throughout the lifespan.
Artist Statement
: The paintings (acrylic on cotton) allude to interior thoughts, represented in tints and shades of gray and neutrals. Exterior spaces are realized in magentas, reds, pastels, yellows and greens, as seen in a hallway and in close-up plant portraits and aerial views of locations and walks.
This is the second year making an impactful art presence during City-Wide Open Studios at the Health Gallery at Active Wellness. The underlying ideas pertinent to this year’s CWOS theme, Older but Younger and my health goals influenced coaching conversations, readings, personal training, walks and thoughts.
Active Wellness Boutique Fitness & Personal Training curated and staged this exhibit of paintings.
