Artworks by Sheila Ghidini and Anne McGuire
Working within self-imposed structures, Anne McGuire and Sheila Ghidini take different paths to finding their muse. The pairing of their art creates a fascinating dialectic. The works revolve around each other as in a dance, creating a choreography that despite each dancer’s distinct style, comes together to form a seamless duet.
