“Pandora”

40″ x 30″, Oil & acrylic on canvas

“Pandora” was completed in 2022 by artist Nancy Hilliard Joyce. This is a story about hope. In greek mythology “Pandora” was given a jar (that was later translated into the word “box”). She was told not to open the box. Curiosity got the best of her and one evening, Pandora opened the jar and all the evils of the world were released. All that remained inside of the jar was ‘hope’. This is a painting using symbolism, Pandora’s jar and the personification of hope.
