(Falmouth, ME) Painter Lesia Sochor will exhibit her “Just Sew Stories” at Elizabeth Moss Galleries. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, July 19th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Lesia is a Brooks, Maine artist who says that “landscapes, interior spaces, the human figure, the sea, amphibians, symbolic icons (Ukrainian eggs, Spools of Thread) - these are all subjects I've painted over my 35 years as an artist. Three years ago, I was inspired by my mother in law's sewing drawer to paint images of spools of thread. The spool, such a humble icon, full of utilitarian simplicity holds a current of meaning, stirring memories and family stories from one generation to the next. What began as a personal exploration connecting me to the women of my family who sew, literally and symbolically, evolved to include all of humanity and how we are all 'sewn' into a fabric called the world"

Elizabeth Moss Galleries is located at 251 US Route One in Falmouth (in the Falmouth Shopping Center). For more information, including gallery hours, please call 207-781-2620 or visit elizabethmossgalleries.com.
