What a beautiful night to get to see my Aunt Gretchen’s work at the opening of the @experimentalartgroup show at @whalerockartstudio in Magnolia ✨

It was so nice to catch up with @slush49 and @nellalush who were some of the very first artists we recruited for @turningart over 16 years ago!

These pieces displayed on our #GBHMural aren't just boldly colorful—they reflect themes of strength, renewal, and love for those around us.

🎨 Steven Lush's (@slush49) oil painting captures the rhythm and energy of SOWA, one of Boston’s most dynamic creative neighborhoods. The interplay between past and present, Europe and America, tradition and experimentation, creates a layered story within the work.

🌻 "Sunflowers in Provence" by Mai Mai Pietrowski (@maimaipietrowski) uses nature to explore timeless themes of hope and beauty. “It is my intention that these vibrant, flowing compositions act as a sanctuary, offering a glimpse of a world where hope is as constant and reliable as the changing of the seasons," Pietrowski says.

👵🏽 Eliana Soares' (elianas_art.27) piece honors her grandmother, Vovó Dunda, who lived in Cabo Verde and raised five children (as well as many grandchildren). Soares has fond childhood memories of her visits to Cabo Verde, and hopes this piece is a reminder of her grandmother's spirit and love.

✋🏼"Sky's Beginning" by Paulina Mendes (mjs_artbook) depicts the artists' hand reaching towards the sky, symbolizing the struggle, strength, and hope that comes with being a first-gen Afro-Latina student. In Mendes' words, “This piece is for anyone who’s ever been looked down on or told they wouldn’t make it. We’re proof that no matter where we come from, we can outstretch our hands and reach. The sky isn’t the limit, it’s just the beginning.”

These pieces are displayed as part of Community Canvas, an initiative by @gbhnews' @thecultureshowgbh to display artwork by community members on our digital mural.

From the American Society of Marine Artist’s 19th National Exhibition.
Brothers
Watercolor, 30 x 22 inches
Steven Lush
“Brothers is a work that I initially envisioned from a day trip I had taken to Portland, Maine. I spent a morning near a shipyard where in one of the two trawlers depicted was blocked up on a marine railway. I “ghosted” in a companion trawler to add some depth and mystery to the work. From this vantage point, both vessels appear monumental, something quite different from their presence while in the water.”

I’m thrilled yet touched to announce that “The Child in Me,” a cherished 48x48 piece that has always held a special place in my heart, along with a smaller companion piece, has found its forever home. Today, with the invaluable help of Steve and his SUV, he delivered these pieces to their new residence in the beautiful Back Bay.

It’s a bittersweet feeling, letting go of a creation that means so much to me. However, I find solace in the knowledge that it will be cherished and appreciated for years to come. These pieces have been more than just art; they’ve been a part of my journey, a reflection of my inner self, and a channel of communication with those who’ve experienced them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my work. Here’s to new beginnings and the enduring power of art to connect us all.

Thrilled to see my recent ‘Soul Sisters’ in its beautiful new forever home, of the incredibly talented, longtime Boston artists, Steve and Nella Lush. Especially happy they love it hanging in the room where they say they spend the most time.
I’m also thrilled to have Steve’s life-sized sculpture entitled, Tic-tac-toe, in a prominent place near my front door. It brings joy everytime!
