Conversations in Texas
We visited painter Cheryl Finfrock’s studio last week to learn more about her new project, Conversations in Texas, a portraiture series connecting art and storytelling.
Finfrock’s studio, located in the Canopy community in Building 1, Studio #218, is filled with paintings of people and places. The clean white space, concrete floors, and shelves of art materials create a quiet backdrop for work defined by rich, saturated color and expressive figures.
For Conversations in Texas, Finfrock is seeking subjects - participants do not need to be living in Texas to be part of the project, they can be traveling and in Texas just long enough to have a conversation. Each subject begins as either a stranger or distant acquaintance and Finfrock invites them into a conversation that begins in unfamiliar territory, capturing the social awkwardness and curiosity that often arise when two people meet without shared history.
