Figuratively Speaking
Gene Swallow, Mavis Anderson, and Deb Sterna
12.11.26 - 03.13.27
Ruth Brennan Gallery

​This exhibition is primarily a folk art exhibition showcasing dolls and figures created by self-taught artists Gene Swallow, Mavis Anderson, and Deb Sterna. Each of these artists individually transform the familiar concept of a doll into a vehicle of storytelling, memory, identity, and personal expression. Each artist approaches dollmaking from a distinct perspective. Their approach is rooted in lived experiences rather than academic convention. Together, their works celebrate the impulse for artists to create human likeness that reflect our histories and shared humanity.
