Two artists, one palm tree motif: Eilen Itzel do Espírito Santo paints on jute and draws in soft pastel on handmade Mayan paper, with titles invoking protectors and rebirth, while Emily Manwaring works oil, palm leaves and hair clips directly onto palm-tree bark. If you are in Long Island City this weekend, it is a small, personal show worth the detour.
What to expect
Expect a compact two-artist show in a neighborhood gallery: larger paintings on jute, a series of intimate pastel drawings with titles like Self Emerging and Many Palms, and Manwaring's bark pieces mounted on the wall.
