Clay on Main presents “YOU ARE LOVED,” a curated exhibition of work by artist David Gerbstadt.
Clay on Main is pleased to present Gerbstadt, a Berwyn, PA-based artist, to our galleries. His whimsical, colorful work reassures us all, “YOU ARE LOVED.”
The opening reception will be held on Feb. 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. Gerbstadt’s art is a story about his life and experiences illustrated with humor and kindness. He states, “Creating has been a part of my life since I stood on a kitchen chair to reach the counter in order to help my mom make cakes and cookies from scratch. (She would always let me lick the mixer beaters.) My inspiration comes from my mother, who showed me that I was able to make something with my hands. My motivation comes from knowing that each moment of life is a gift that I am given and that making art is why I am here.”
“Art has given me a means to cope with several ‘disabilities’ and brings fulfillment in my life where I never thought possible. Making art allows me to feel part of society and that I belong.”
Please join us in welcoming this friendly, talented artist!
