(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is thrilled to host Bridgette Guerzon Mills for the month of November.The exhibit will run from November 5th through November 25th, with a First Friday opening on November 7th from 5-8pm.Creating the work in “Touch the Earth” brought Bridgette a sense of grounding in these uncertain times. The idea of grounding is that when we physically touch the earth, skin to earth, there are benefits to our mental and physical health. Touching the earth brings one into the present moment. These pieces explore resilience, mindfulness and gratitude for the beauty and steadfastness of the often-overlooked details of the natural world. These works are about noticing the beauty and the profound in the mundane and fully embracing that mystery. If we allow the earth to hold us, we can reconnect to ourselves and can find stability in an unstable world. Enjoy a Pop-Up with Naan Pocen, the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building-wide will welcome visitors to visit and learn. Shop and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare and beverages are generously sponsored by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
