Come to the next Art, Women, and Culture Salon to meet Giannina Coppiano Dwin and see her work with sugar and spices.

Giannina's beautiful work allows the interaction of time, expressing a desire to transform simple materials into symbols of life’s basic needs. It refers to intimate moments, little rituals, or metaphors that call into play formal aesthetics, nourishment, sensory experience, women’s bodies, and the impermanence of the human condition. The sensuality of the materials is in direct contrast to the transient nature of everything. The work presents a sort of contemporary Vanitas, reflecting the inevitable passing of pleasure into earthly decay. The attention to detail and labor intensiveness of the work also contrasts with the transformation and destruction of the exhibition to be presented on the final day. Her work is now on view in "Continuum", the exhibition at Cultural Council of Palm Beach County of work by current and past students of FAU's MFA program.

We'll also spend some time talking about career development - opportunities, resources, and steps you can take to get your art seen by a wider audience.
