Luminous painterly interpretations of two abiding motifs in art history

A two-person exhibition featuring angel paintings by Reggie Burrows Hodges (born 1965) and moon paintings by Ann Craven (born 1967), Moons and Angels was staged in the former St James Catholic church at 70 Main Street in Thomaston, Maine. Appearing throughout the canon of art history, these enduring celestial subjects have served as protectors and messengers. Craven and Hodges create warm and inviting interpretations of these guiding lights that allow the viewer to, in Hodges’s words, “offer up and be offered back.” This comprehensive, fully illustrated exhibition catalog features a collection of poems by Susan Howe.
