Science Month Art Exhibition

The Church of Scientology National Affairs Office is hosting a special exhibition presented by Youth for Human Rights DC Chapter and Art Impact® International to celebrate Science and human rights! Come and enjoy the artwork. The exhibit features three artists with unique styles. They will be present and ready to discuss their art with you.

Carolyn Goodridge • Encaustic Painter

Patrick Smith • Modern Art Portraitist

J. Thomas Wells • Assemblage Artist

Feature Art: Existing, Encaustic (pigmented beeswax) and lace fabric on two wood panels, 48" h x 92", 2026 by artist Carolyn Goodridge is shown as the feature art for our September exhibition. This month's show serves to honor our right to life, for all living beings! , The Right to Life.
During the evening the artist will give us a deep dive into quantum science language. "Existing" brings us her visualization of the superposition of life, death, and love, using the "Mausoleum Tree" and butterflies. The "Mausoleum Tree", as Goodridge gave it it's name, was a magnificent sculpture of a "dead" tree before it was cut down for firewood. Yet, for her it was also more than one thing. It was dead, but not dead. Alive but not alive. Both and neither.

Join us for this short presentation on how art speaks quantum physics, most certainly bringing to life the observer effect. All artist and art collectors realize the truth of this. Enjoy the exhibition and this special viewing and artist talk about this expansive eight foot painting.
