Closing Reception: Champions - A Vintage Romance Novel

A Grape in the Fog Presents: 
A Closing Reception for
"Champions: A Vintage Romance Novel"

Artist, Elizabeth Marshall, invites you to her closing reception.

You'll enjoy music by DJ Robski and drink specials all night including our featured Cava cocktail - inspired by a Vintage Romance Novel.

Artist Statement:
Everyone is a champion – sometimes in one's own mind. Champion means the victor in a challenge and we have all been there, sometimes in small ways and other times by overcoming large obstacles in our lives. Some days one is a champion just for getting out of bed, other days we perform for our loved ones in ways only they see, and achieve respect and appreciation from those for whom it means so much. 
How and when one measures success can be done on a daily basis in the form of sticking to a schedule or being on time, and also over a great deal of time – such as sticking with a job or having a long relationship. Every day, every person is a champion.
Inspired by vintage romance novels from the 50’s and 60’s, these works on canvas tell the stories of champions, which are open for interpretation as to the challenge overcome. The images depicted are meant to conjure up ideas about the stories behind adversity and success. Hopefully the viewer will reflect on their own experiences and think how they are champions for having dealt with challenge and change.
