“Hinterlands” is an exhibit of portraits in oil and graphite. A hinterland is a geographical term for uncharted areas beyond a coastal area or riverbank. They portray what is beyond the visible and known. Most people measure their lives in terms of past and present, as in who they “were before and who they become as a result. This body of work tells the stories of those navigating the temporal nature of life, the unknown and the human condition.
