From Brandi Hofer:
The show features 44 original paintings that Gus and I painted together throughout the year of 2017. The
artwork is a collection of parents that came to pose for the series in
my art studio. The opening is family friendly! We will have toys, games,
snacks and tons of fun in store!

Here is more about the series:
Nothing
can prepare you for parenthood, being a parent is one of the most
difficult and challenging endeavors in one's life, however, I have no
doubt it is the most meaningful. As an artist, I am influenced and
inspired by my everyday environment. In this new series of artworks, I
aim to highlight, and capture the beauty of being a parent, (from what
I've experienced) as the richest time in my life. This series aims to
speak about my triumphs and struggles as a mother. It deals with the
ideals of motherhood, its morals, and its priorities. It is an exciting
series that revels in a mother’s time with her child.
