Simple Gifts: Visual Translations of Shaker Hymns and Copland Music
A Solo Exhibition by Shany Porras
Experience the powerful connection between music and visual art in this new body of work by Shany Porras. Simple Gifts offers abstract and symbolic interpretations of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring and traditional Shaker hymns, exploring themes of simplicity, spirituality, and American rhythm.
Through bold stripes, soft palettes, and lyrical imagery, Porras translates sound into color, form, and emotion—inviting you to reflect, listen, and see music in a whole new way.
The exhibition also features a special video by filmmaker Terry Holland, capturing the artist in her studio as she creates works from the Shaker hymn series and shares insight into her creative process of translating music into visual form.
