Ancestral Spirits is showing work by Emilia Cleopas, a native of Colombia, South America, who is currently living in Port Townsend. Her bright paintings have surrealistic, mythic qualities with an authentic energy and intensity. Goddess paintings abound in the world as we enter the 21st century, but Cleopas' work, perhaps because she is from a place where communion with spirit energy is a part of daily life, is on a higher plane than most.

The artist has provided mythic stories to go with many of her works. They are interesting as her her paintings but don't completely explain the many symbols and perhaps paradoxes she comes up with. It's a fascinating show.
