'Inflorescence' To Be Shown At Canton's Village Theater

Artist uses paintings of flowers to convey her feelings in solo exhibition.

From The Village Theater at Cherry Hill: PLYMOUTH-CANTON, MI - The Village Theater at Cherry Hill is pleased to present “Inflorescence,” a unique exhibit featuring paintings by Artist Denise Cassidy Wood. This solo artist exhibition in the Gallyer@VT includes over 25 works of art now on display through June 28, 2017.

For artist Denise Cassidy Wood, flowers have always induced feelings of joy, peace and warmth. These feelings are what Wood tries to capture and convey through her paintings. In painting these flowers, Wood feels as though she has bloomed internally as a person, a mother, a friend and an artist.

“I’ve spent most of my life dabbling in various forms of art,” said Denise Cassidy Wood. “In 2008, after hitting a creative wall and feeling an intense pull to nurture my creativity, I took an acrylic painting class and finally felt like I found my true calling. I continue to explore new ways to incorporate a variety of textural elements to each of my paintings.”
