Family Ties: Artists feature kin in Waverly Street Gallery exhibits
When Faces opened Jan. 3 at the Waverly Street Art Gallery in Bethesda, it was Shari Hookman Bergers first exhibit as an artist. The exhibit that bears her name and efforts is inadvertently the first showing of some of her 8-year-old daughters work, too.
The Bethesda resident prefers to paint on used or discarded materials. Her canvas-of-choice is cardboard, but she is not always the first to create art on it. Her piece Grocery List is a case in point.
[Ava] and my nephew were in the basement, and they had made a fort out of two old, huge boxes, and they had all of these drawings on them, Berger says. For instance, the grocery list on there actually is their handwriting from their grocery list. When I painted over it, I allowed that portion to show through.
Another of her pieces, Ava, shows mother and daughter. To the left of her daughters delicately painted portrait is a roughly drawn stick figure depicting Berger.
