SUMMARY:Shaped by Reston Reception
DESCRIPTION:Acrylic abstracts by Dr. Joe Hyman.\nAcrylic abstracts\, fantasy portraits\, and landscapes by Mia Merin. \nLiving in the seasonally dynamic landscape of Reston’s lush forestland for a combined total of over ninety years\, local artists Mia Merin and Joe Hyman have been inspired to create art based on their local surroundings\, personal  travels\, and their vivid imaginations. These family friends  are joining forces to present a show composed of abstracts\, fantasy portraits\, and landscapes. \nIn 1971\, Joe and Janet Hyman moved into their new house in Reston’s Hunters Woods community. Joe\, a clinical psychologist\, opened Reston’s first clinical psychologist private practice in his home. He designed and built a new facility on South Lakes Drive\, adjacent to the USGS\, called The Counseling and Therapy Building. Joe began creating abstract geometric paintings on canvas. His intuitive and non-objective painting process results in colorful\, complex artwork that evokes various emotions and joy. He is pleased to share his art alongside the work of Mia Merin\, a longtime Restonian and family friend. \nMia Merin\, a Reston resident since 1987\, has a background in geology and art. She creates landscape paintings based on her favorite hikes and uses art as an outlet for emotions. During the pandemic\, she found inspiration from a 1988 Soviet Art exchange and engaged with the works of Matisse. She explored new perspectives on creating art through Zoom meetings and followed a method by Shiloh Sophia\, resulting in abstract paintings that reflect personal experiences and emotions. Mia believes that art’s meaning is subjective and belongs to the beholder.
