Opening Night of the exhibition
In a moment of artistic celebration, Wright elegantly cuts the ribbon with the district official, heralding the opening night of his exhibition at City Hall.
Wright forged a deep connection with his guests, sharing the journey of his past year painting in Loreto, enriching the ties of friendship and community with every heartfelt story.
As over 25 paintings came to life before the gaze of 200 enthusiastic supporters throughout the night, Wright was enveloped in a profound sense of gratitude, crafting an unforgettable evening for Loreto.
Wright embraced the essence of a vibrant atmosphere, weaving together food, wine, and live music to foster connection and keep the spirit of collaboration alive among the artworks and guests.
Casa Hogar
Loreto has profoundly inspired Wright, and he feels deeply humbled to give back to the community that embraced him. With this in mind, he has donated 20% of the exhibition proceeds to Casa Hogar, the local foster home that provides support to children in need.
The artworks
For a year, Wright devoted himself to the "Honoring Loreto" series, creating over 25 paintings that celebrate the town's rich heritage. Each morning and evening, he set up his easel in inspiring spots, where vibrant colors burst forth like a dance on the canvas. With every stroke, he infused his heart into the scenes, capturing not only the visual beauty but also the emotions—the warmth of the sun, the soft breeze, and a profound sense of belonging.
