“Sevier-Vuyk's Sweet Talk focuses on the playful aspect of Valentine's Day: candy hearts with cheeky sayings that are piled into towers or one by one. Sevier-Vuyk's pastel paintings bring sweetness, nostalgia, and a hint of irony to one of America's most over-commercialized holidays. Known for her colorful, realistic acrylic paintings of iconic objects in culture, Sevier-Vuyk's candy heart paintings reference a cultural tradition of exchanging cards and sweets for the holiday.”
