A Journey Without Distance
Exhibition Dates: May 30 – August 27, 2026
Join Dorothy Bury Shaw for an Artist Talk/ Poetry Reading on Sunday, July 26 at 11:15am in the Borwell Dining Room at Fourth Presbyterian Church. Dorothy will also have copies of her book “Love Without Distance – A Heartscape of Art and Verse” for sale.
Dorothy’s art journey, rooted in Chicago’s vibrant cultural landscape, saw her evolve from an aspiring student to a creator of sacred art and poetry. Her initial exploration in editorial illustration, while gratifying, gradually gave way to a deeper calling in fine art. This transition was fueled by personal experiences and a rich engagement with the city’s art scene. Her work, deeply influenced by her upbringing and later explorations of spiritual traditions, reflects a profound journey into the essence of sacred art.
Her creations, a fusion of spiritual inquiry and artistic expression, stand as a testament to the interconnectedness of humanity and the divine. Dorothy’s art transcends traditional boundaries, inviting a contemplation of universal truths and the spiritual dimension of existence. Her path illustrates the power of art to bridge the material and the spiritual, offering insights into a deep, inclusive, inner perspective.
