Fine Art America artist Aberjhani, whose work is currently on exhibit at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, recently launched a new online art series titled “Finding Shelter in a Circle of Gratitude.” Although the series is making its debut just in time for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, the artist says it is about more than that.

“A lot of the motivation behind this series came from the fact that we’ve been battling the COVID-19 pandemic for almost two years now and finally found ways to slow its spread and decrease deaths from it. Catastrophic mass casualty events always reminding us of how important little things like showing each other common courtesy, or taking notice of a beautiful sunset or sunrise, can be. The pandemic has been especially convincing.”

The individual titles of the three works in the new series are: 1) “A Bouquet of Humanity”; 2) “Existential Heartbeat”; and 3) “Meanwhile Back on Earth.” They can be found...

Just as the work of classic American author Flannery O’Connor has come under renewed scrutiny and criticisms, author-artist Aberjhani has posted on Fine Art America (FAA) several new prints reflecting on O’Connor’s legacy and his own forthcoming book on the acclaimed writer.


O’Connor has long been celebrated as well as criticized for highly-accomplished literary works which boldly examine such social concerns as religious faith, racial tensions, and cultural values. Aberjhani spent a decade completing his book “Greeting Flannery O’Connor at the Back Door of My Mind” but during the process was also inspired to produce corresponding visual art and poetry. On August 24, 2020, he posted the following on FAA, the first image having the same title as the book:
