About this Product
An evening walk along the river brings together moments of thoughts of the world today and past as the sun begins to set. If these waters could talk. Flowing through Seneca Falls, the Cayuga-Seneca Canal has been front and center to the struggles and victories of Women’s Suffrage.
“River of Progress” depicts an evening walk along the waterway in this small New York town. Wandering, I stumbled across the Ludovico Sculpture Trail, a sculpture walking trail featuring work of women artists and celebrating the themes of the Women’s Rights Movement, local industry, and canal transportation.
This painting features the canal at dusk and the sculpture “Free Spirit” by Miriam Nelson - showing the beautiful combination of nature and art inspired by historic progress.
This painting was created for a show called "The World Split Open" celebrating the 100th anniversary of the women's suffrage movement. In retrospect, it feels a little ironic that the opening of this show marks the last opening reception I attended just days before the world shut down for the global pandemic in March of 2020.
DESCRIPTION
11"x14"x.75" acrylic painting on stretched canvas. The painting comes with a gallery wire on the back for easy hanging once it arrives, or you can take it to your favorite framing shop for a more finished look.

Laura Jaen Art
Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Laura, the artist and owner behind Laura Jaen Art. I live in the Finger Lakes area of upstate New York (the Southern Tier region if we’re being technical).
A lot of my inspiration comes from observing the beauty I see around me. I think one of the coolest things about being an artist is being able to see something that seems ordinary or unnoticed and bring it to life through art. It feels almost like a superpower to be able to find the beauty in anything.
Most of my artwork is in acrylic or ink pens. I also like to experiment with different mediums and techniques to learn new skills. I strive to always being learning and growing as an artist and as a person.
