Reception Date: October 14th 4:00pm – 5:30pm

Susan Martin Meggs’ body of artwork in her exhibition, Lightness of Being: A Sense of Place, is strongly influenced by her surroundings as “a sense of place.” As a personal, engaged experience, a sense of place becomes a constantly morphing transformation of identity relative to past and present. Her works are largely divided between landscapes and cityscapes. The landscapes demonstrate juxtaposition of iconography between the built environment and natural forms, as well as the effects of light on the perception of form. A series of oil paintings examines light as cast shadows of natural elements on primarily architectural surfaces.
