Leanne Fink’s solo art exhibit, National Treasures, at The Athenaeum, December 3, 2023

Yesterday I was able to stop by The Athenaeum, in Alexandria, Virginia, to catch my friend @leannefink_art’s opening for her incredible solo exhibit, National Treasures. I’ve enjoyed watching Leanne’s work evolve and progress over the years, and it’s been almost exactly six years since @krisloyaart gave Leanne a solo show at @trystgallery. This current exhibit is testament to what can happen when an artist puts in consistent hard work and dedication, and this particular series brought the gorgeous, historic Athenaeum alive, on a very gray and foggy December day. Some words from the artist, herself, about the series: “My wish is that this body of work will uplift those who view it. On a deeper level, I hope it will raise awareness for the fragile beauty that surrounds us and serve as an oasis where we may reflect on our interactions with the natural world." The show runs through January 7, 2024, and you can catch a live painting demo from Leanne on Saturday, December 16, from 1-3pm. #theathenaeum #leannefinkart #nationaltreasuresexhibit #alexandriava #oldtownalexandria #soloexhibit #artopening #artexhibit #oilpainting #coldwaxmedium #coldwaxpainting #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #loudouncountyartist #loudounart #supportlivingartists #painting #northernvirginiafineartsassociation #art #artwork #dmvartist
