woman in existence. In this action-packed space western, E-V
must fight alongside aliens and androids to protect not only the
future of humanity, but of the entire galaxy. A sci-fi-inspired play
full of comedy, action, and romance, Fight Girl Battle World

The Boseman gallery is now open for the newest exhibition, “In Divine”, by Olivia Froelich!

“It is inherently human to seek the divine.  Sometimes we look up to seek this divinity, sometimes we look around, and often, we look within. Like Albrecht Durer’s self-portrait as Christ, or Artemisia Gentileschi’s self-portrait as Saint Catherine, in portraits of God and their saints, a human has acted as reference.  If one can look into the eyes of God by observing a man-made portrait in a man-made museum, then the idea that humanity is separated from divinity by unconquerable lengths must be an illusion.”

Olivia explores her belief in God as Heavenly Parents, the divine nature of every individual, and the oneness of divinity and humanity by seeking the divine that manifests itself in people.  She has done this through two-dimensional works of art: figure studies, self-portraits, portraits of loved ones, and in conceptual depictions of divine figures.
