For the month of March, Asheville Gallery of Art will recognize Women\u2019s History Month with the group exhibition Women Celebrating Women<\/em>. Featuring work by Kathy Edwards, Marilyn Place and Kelly Saunders, Women Celebrating Women<\/em> will open on Friday, March 1, with a reception from 5\u20138 p.m. \u201cIt is important to feature women in art, even when people are being more inclusive to all genders, because historical underrepresentation and marginalization of women in the art world still persists,\u201d says Saunders. \u201cBy showcasing the perspectives and experiences of women, we create a more inclusive artistic landscape that reflects the richness and complexity of our society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saunders will be featuring a piece from her latest collection, My Own Muse, born from a poem that she wrote during a difficult time in her life. \u201cI know how it feels to have to pick myself up, refusing to wait for external validation or inspiration,\u201d she says. \u201cFrom the depths of postpartum depression, unhealthy relationships and numerous moves, I found strength and resiliency from within. I became my own muse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women are the central subject matter in Edwards\u2019 art, which is deeply influenced by several years spent living and making art in a remote cabin in Australia. \u201cI still have a deep inner longing to merge with my natural surroundings as I did when I lived off-grid in Australia,\u201d she says. \u201cBy painting women submerged in nature I kind of get to scratch that itch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Place chose artworks for Women Celebrating Women that celebrate the grace and beauty of womanhood. \u201cAs a woman artist, I am drawn to representations of the female figure and female themes,\u201d she says. \u201cFor me, this series is about sisterhood, relationships and, well, connection.\u201d<\/p>\n
