Journeys from Home traveled in Central Europe from November 2003 through September 2004, and was exhibited in cities such as Warsaw, Poland and Zagreb, Croatia. The show will be returning to the US and will be exhibited in Washington, D.C. in 2006.

"This unique body of contemporary paintings represnts interpretation of the theme "Journeys from Home" by four American artists. Each artist explores the idea of 'home' using her own approach to paint handling, her own vocabulary of forms, and her own vision. Cultural identity, each artist's roots, and her identification with locations undoubtedly have had some influence on these efforts. Nena Gonzalez Thayer develops 'home' as it relates to her ancestral and cultural roots. Eleanor Kotlarik Wang searches for the essence of spaces while exploring forms from nature. Sheep Jones investigates the humble shed as 'home' as she explores its role in rural landscapes and in the passage of time. And Beverly Ryan takes a look at the psychological side of our 'home' in western culture. All share an interest in art theory and its relationship to their creation of authentic and meaningful work. This collection of paintings offers a unique view of America - a nation of a melting pot of nationalities and freedom, the destination of people from diverse cultues who have come to seek new lives and create new homes."
