Jayne Holsinger's oil-on-panel paintings movingly capture the spirit and humanity of her subjects. Her current series delves into Ms. Holsinger's Anabaptist background and heritage to explore the simple lives of a Mennonite family and community. The works are photo-based, and rely on carefully rendered serial images from single sittings.

Ms. Holsinger mines art history to import recognizable visual references into some of the portraits. The artist included such references upon learning that the 17th Century Dutch Mennonites sat for paintings by Rembrandt, patronized the arts, and became painters themselves.

A reception will be held from 2-4 p.m. January 13, 2008.
