Location: Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington DE

Sponsored by: DE Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health with support from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield DE

The Delaware Art Museum has partnered with Wilmington City Councilperson Nathan Field on a mural project, Nature’s Palette, with images and words inspired by nature. The works will be on view throughout the Trolley Square-HighlandsWawaset area (District 8) through the remainder of 2023.

Theresa Clower was inspired to create INTO LIGHT Project shortly after the death of her son, Devin Bearden, to an accidental drug overdose in February 2018 in Baltimore. Having never attempted portraiture work before, she picked up her graphite pencil and began drawing. It was a cathartic experience that allowed her to say goodbye to her son. In so doing, Theresa tapped into an entirely new calling – drawing the faces of others who had lost their lives to drug addiction. From there, INTO LIGHT Project held the first exhibition in Baltimore in 2019. Since then, exhibits have been held in 7 states, with more booked for 2023.

Nature’s Palette features enlarged intricate and vibrant details of paintings and drawings from DelArt’s Pre-Raphaelite collection, combined with quotations inspired by nature and poetry penned by Victorian-era writers. The murals include PreRaphaelite works by artists Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, Walter Crane, Henry Farrer, George James Howard, John Everett Millais, and William Henry Millais. Paired with these are quotations from authors Emily Brontë, George Eliot, Felicia Hemans, Christina Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and John Ruskin.

Thank you for considering a submission to our project. We look forward to working together to change the conversation about drug addiction and erasing the stigma of SUD by helping others to better understand this insidious disease.

The smash-hit musical Come From Away is set for April 19-21, telling the inspiring true story of a small town that welcomed the world. In May, the season closes with Little Women (May 9-12), bringing Louisa May Alcott’s classic story to musical life on stage. All four shows are Wilmington premieres.
