Fine artist Haley Hughes explores thoughtful color palettes and sentimental motifs in her paintings, ascribing a deeper meaning to everyday objects rooted in her experience of femininity and interest in still life imagery. She introduces memory and nostalgia as key players in her narrative works, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own feminine mythology.
“As All Things Pass” speaks to the generational knowledge handed down through matriarchal lines, metaphorical keys granting access to the wisdom and experience of our elders. The candle burns at both ends, signaling that time is running short as we discard the lore carefully preserved by long lines of women. This piece is an invitation to return to the preservation and celebration of these stories and experiences ingrained in our collective being.
Haley received a BA in Studio Art from Furman University in 2017. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, her work is shared under the creative brand Grown Wild Studio.
