Exhibition Offers Room for Reflection

Westmont alumna Ella Jennings (’23), education and outreach coordinator at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, shares her paintings of luminous interiors in an exhibition, Abide with Me, at the Fireside Gallery at Trinity Lutheran Evangelical Church, 909 N. La Cumbre, open from 10 am – 2 pm on weekdays. 

“The everyday buildings we frequent are often imbued with nostalgia, memories, and emotional states based on our experiences in those places,” she says. 

Jennings, who draws inspiration from American realism and the geometry of precisionism, brings subtle references to spirituality in each painting.
