About the Item

This piece titled "I Give Myself Grace Now" is an original painting by Sarah Detweiler and is made from oil paint, recycled fiber packing material, crochet thread, acrylic mirror tiles on canvas with acrylic painted edges. This piece measures 48”h x 36”w and ships with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity. In Unmasquerade, Detweiler positively redefines the ADHD term of masking as a purposeful and playful act, as her figures wear novelty sunglasses, fur suits, and mosaic cloaks in dreamy settings. In I Give Myself Grace Now, Detweiler creates a self-portrait of her lying down in a field of laundry arranged in a spectrum, embellished with mirror fragments and embroidery radiating from her body. Detweiler uses laundry as a metaphorical device throughout the exhibition–representing the executive dysfunction many with ADHD face daily–but in this piece she indulges in a moment of bliss before she tackles the seemingly never-ending house chore. Detweiler explains, “I realized that despite the diagnosis,the metamorphosis that I came out of, I was still very much the same. I was not ‘healed’, ‘fixed’, or anything like that, but now I saw the beauty in the things that I used to shame myself for. I've learned how to give myself grace.” Instead of seeing ADHD as a new identity, Detweiler is now been given the most profound understanding of herself to date. Sarah Detweiler is a Philadelphia area-based visual artist translating her experiences as a mother into figurative and narrative paintings with hand embroidery. She has a BFA in Visual Communications from University of Delaware and a master's degree in Art Therapy from Pratt. Detweiler has shown her work in solo and group exhibits in galleries across the country. Most notably, her “Hidden Mother” series sold out in two exhibitions with Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia. Sarah’s work has been published in Hi-Fructose, Create, Artit, MILKED, and Uppercase Magazines, and featured on art blogs including Colossal and The Jealous Curator. She has also been interviewed for multiple art podcasts including The Jealous Curator’s podcast, Art For Your Ear. Sarah's current work centers around themes of motherhood, nostalgia, and childhood memories.
