★ 49 • "Oconee Street Methodist Church, Athens, GA" by René Shoemaker

$400.00

Hand-painted silk with fiber-reactive dye

15 x 14.5 inches (with frame)

This painting of Oconee Street Methodist Church honors the handsome Athens building as it stood before a devastating fire destroyed it in 2013, and now serves as a historical record of what was lost. The building was 111 years old at the time, yet an inspired and reinvigorated community rose to bring it back to life. The spirit of that community lives on today in fellowship and outreach. A true phoenix rising from the ashes, this painting stands as a testament to faith, perseverance, and hope — qualities that resonate deeply with those living with EDS, who meet each day with determination, persevering toward a full life of health and hope.” -René
