Beyond the Paint with Bernadine is adding new monthly episodes centered on a book I am writing. Writing is the vehicle I want to use to bring into my reader, the ways art has transported me and shaped me into the woman I want to be and into the life I want to live. Experiencing art is my spiritual and intellectual practice of feeling and being alive. My hope is for you to be open to the ways art can shape and bring meaning to your life.

The excerpt I share in this episode is from the chapter, "Before the Women, There Were the Men." It highlights the works of contemporary painter Sean Scully, his "Land Line" paintings and the work "Opulent Ascension" at Venice Bienale (2019) at the Church San Giorgio Maggiore.
