An artist from Durham is currently being featured with a solo show at the North Carolina Museum of Art. And you won’t want to miss it!
Reflections: Portraits by Beverly McIver celebrates the last decade of work from the native of North Carolina. She is renowned for her expression-filled, emotive canvases that commemorate her life and the lives of those closest to her—in particular, her mother, Ethel, who passed away in 2004, and her sister, Renee, who is mentally disabled.
The exhibition highlights these two subjects in McIver’s work, focusing solely on her self-portraits and on portraits of Renee and other family members. “All of my portraits are self-portraits,” says the artist. “I use the faces of others who reflect my most inner being.”
The show runs through June. For more info: http://ncartmuseum.org/
