Kaleidoscope Gallery Ayla Cashdollar
"In high school, a project we had was to paint a sandwich. A simple task and a simple subject- but I fell in love with the art.
I wanted to focus on the way food is a shared language for people in celebration. Food is a universal thing that binds people in a way beyond expression. I hope my art can bring people together to remind them of memories of meals enjoyed with family, friends, or even strangers."
Ayla's exhibit, A Shared Table, opens in August. Visit Ayla at our September 18 program and artist reception at 6:30 p.m.
