The museum says:

The museum says the show features comforting oil paintings of familiar domestic items. Her paintings "delicately [render] everyday domestic objects we use to create a sense of security; their utilitarian and decorative functions act to create a sanctuary. Her work simultaneously brings a sense of warm nostalgia and chilling loss.’’

The museum is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. — 6 p.m. The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is located at 150 Wakefield Street, Rochester, NH. For more information, please visit here.
