"Everyone must leave something behind... Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die." — Ray Bradbury
Seven artists respond to the concept of legacy, both in what we leave behind and in our connection to what's been left behind for us.
Do you ever wonder how you will be imagined by generations after this? Considering the grandness of time and the brevity of life is all too consuming and perhaps this is why it's a universal and profoundly human endeavor to pass something along after we pass along.

Beth Bailey
Beth Bailey is a painter and community arts educator based in Whitman, Massachusetts. Her current studio practice explores the landscape through florals and the garden, creating vibrant dreamscapes that process her multifaceted experiences as an artist, gardener, and mother.
By blending the expansive feel of a traditional landscape with the intimate, curated nature of a garden, her work invites viewers to reflect on their own connection to the natural world. Beth earned dual BFAs in painting and community arts education from MassArt. When she is not in her studio or the garden, she remains dedicated to fostering collaborative art experiences through her traveling nonprofit, Creative Pathways, and her podcast Let's Chat Creative Pathways.

"I am a mixed media artist who is inspired by what I see and experience in the world around me and what I encounter internally in the terrain of my imagination."
This piece is part of a series that is a reflection on Home. All the places we have called 'home' inform and shape who we are, and are part of what we bring with us throughout our journey. 'Home' is what gets handed down and carried forward- and in that sense, is our legacy.
Kristina Junco
Kristina grew up surrounded by individuals who encouraged imagination and creativity. Her first memories of drawing were at her grandmother's table, where her grandmother gave her a pad of Yellow paper and told her to draw a face. Years later, this same grandmother taught Kristina how to paint. This painting is inspired by one of her grandmother's paintings and is in homage to how creativity can be passed down through generations.

"During my high school years, as a budding creative, my dad hauled trash for the RISD bookstore for extra cash. He always brought home the unsold ArtForum magazines (with the covers torn off) and I clipped many meaningful images and squirreled them away in that time. What is left after decades and many moves are just a few little scraps that I now hang on my workroom wall.
I've been creating under a magazine clipping with a work of art of absolute unknown provenance for over thirty years now, piecing and sewing leather for my design project, Manimal, tailoring clothing and working on errant creative projects under the sign WE ARE LEFT ALONE WITH OUR DAY AND THE TIME IS SHORT, in bold blocky font. WE ARE LEFT ALONE WITH OUR DAY AND THE TIME IS SHORT.
I listen to NPR while I work, observing a changing world, and my little red and black sign is there always. A few weeks ago, after not knowing anything at all about the artist or the work, where or when it was made - I searched the line."

Leroy Powell
Leroy Powell is the curator at Ivy Lane Gallery and co-owner of Powell & Burke salon. 'Aries' is a portrait of his godchild, Mira, and the first installment of a twelve part series in the making, illustrating each of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
"I work in acrylic and cut paper collage (and usually rhinestones). The portraits are representational, the landscapes mostly imagined. For me, these works are about nostalgia and childhood, mankind’s mysteries, love and outer space, dreams and the creation of magical objects."

"I started making fabric pictures at the start of Covid, partly inspired by the British artist, Jane Bolton, and with the encouragement and support of my daughter, Anna, whose design sense, keen eye and love helped shape my work.
I like seeing the fabrics' rough, unhemmed borders. These visible threads reveal the fabric's essence and add interest and texture. I title each picture, and then it becomes a story. Russia's invasion of Ukraine inspired this picture. It was hard to ignore the devastating images of the damage done and the lives lost. The entire legacy of this terrible war won't be known for some time."

Brooke Stewart
"My work explores the intersection of art and sport as a way to understand vulnerability, trust, and shared human experience. Both demand presence, repetition, and commitment, while also inviting introspection, community, and transformation.
I see the court as a sacred site, an earth painting, layered with memory, movement, and spiritual culture. These spaces carry homage: to home courts, to community, to the quiet rituals of play. I’m drawn to how time settles into them, and how they become stages for radical empathy and real-time negotiation.
In particular, I see courts as battlefields where women in sport fight for visibility and equal space. Sport, in my practice, is both metaphor and material, embodying strength, resistance, and tenderness. Through it, I explore the politics of space and the ways we shape one another through every pass, pivot, and pause.
Ultimately, I aim to create not just art, but temporary fields, environments where difference is honored, collectivity is sacred, and the pursuit of something greater than the self becomes possible."
