The night of my show at Hopewell Valley Vineyard left me inspired in a way I didn’t expect. I don’t drink, but you don’t have to in order to appreciate the craftsmanship, the tradition, and the way wine is woven into human history. It’s there in the celebratory glasses raised in joy and in the quiet bottles poured to ease moments of sorrow. Wine is more than a drink—it’s a ritual, a symbol, an art form.
Although wine was proverbially poured onto the canvas that evening, no bottles were harmed in the making of this painting.
