Gay Gillies exhibition of paintings and drawings, Fragments of Culture and Belief, is inspired by past years at her artist residency in Morelia, Mexico.

Gillies weaves into her work with threads of observations and experiences from her travels in Michoacán. Her process pulls from local artisans, fragments of history, sacred spaces, and daily routines.
