This exhibition features a striking display of paintings by the legendary Maryland-born artist, Elaine Hamilton (1920-2010). Hamilton traveled extensively in Mexico, Europe, and Asia which helped define her powerful images. She has had solo exhibitions in galleries and museums all over the world. Her work has been described as Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting but Hamilton said the Buddhist monks she knew in Tibet described it best: "It's meditation in action. Wehn you meditate, it doesn't mean empty. It's making space for things to come in." Also featured in the exhibition is a selection of Hamilton's photography as well as her collection of Tibetan and Pre-Columbian art.
