Afterlife is an excerpt from the VAST painting series by Joy Blewett made possible through a grant from SEMAC (Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council). “This painting has special meaning to me in this series. My grandfather, also a painter, passed away February 2020 and due to the pandemic and other circumstances, we weren't able to have a gathering to celebrate his life or have a funeral. In the summer of 2020 when I was painting the last of the paintings in the series, I felt my grandfather channeling through me, his presence as I worked out details on the canvas. This was my last vision that came to me. After it was finished, I could see that it enveloped the grief process. The process of entering the earth as our souls are lifted up to the heavens.”

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
