Join Keswick Wise & Well as we feature the work of Vonne Napper, our 21/22 Libby Bowerman ’82 MICA Teaching Fellow. Vonne has been teaching with Keswick’s Art Program for the last academic year! Come to this Artist Reception and celebrate Vonne’s creative practice and work with our program this year.

 Excavation is the process of moving things for the purpose of exploration and restoration. Vonne explains that their art practice "serves as a tool for healing." Exploring and restoring oneself is a healing process that many choose to do through art. Once Vonne realized the impactive nature of art as an adult, they immersed themselves in the deep waters of every medium of art. 

The goal of their practice is to create a platform that utilizes various art mediums such as oral narratives, writing, visual art, digital media, printmaking, and fibers, that function to evoke introspection as well as collaboration with others. Vonne produces art that makes the viewer question ideas surrounding life itself, especially in terms of new ways of relating to others. They believe by approaching their art practice with this intention, they create more balance and understanding in the world.

Vonne describes the Sight Excavation exhibit as a "tangible representation of intense and intentional self-examination. It is the transition of death and rebirth, the witnessing of the unseen made visible, and the acknowledgment of a fortified support system that aids me on my spiritual path as a community artist and human." Don't miss this opportunity to experience Vonne's art in person.

Please join us at their opening reception on Wednesday, June 8 from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm.
