The Nature of Healing
Genevieve Lykes Dimmitt and David Price
April 13- May 25th, 2024

Artist Statement
Allow nature’s peace to flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
— John Muir
The Nature of Healing presents the work of two Florida artists who have found lifelong inspiration in our natural environment and its abundant resources. In a dynamic pairing of abstract painting and classically-infused sculpture, Genevieve Lykes Dimmitt and David Price explore the power of art to engage with nature, and find within it sources of wonder and solace.
In a series of mixed media paintings, Genevieve Lykes Dimmitt combines elements such as gold leaf, mica and wood with imagery abstracted from nature. Like an alchemist, she transforms these earthy components into an aesthetic journey that charts a process of emotional and intellectual healing following a devastating loss.
David Price invests many hours of observation and study from life and in the field to achieve both veracity and individuality in his bronze interpretations of Florida birds and animals. Sculpted first from clay and later metal, the portraits emerge from the earth itself. “I find solace in nature and believe in the healing power of being out in nature. Studying nature for my art puts me in the present and makes me mindful of the beauty and organization of life in harmony.”
This exhibition is in partnership with Love IV Lawrence / Community Foundation Tampa Bay. Made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of The Ruth and J O Stone Foundation.
