“Give Thanks, Give Back” by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.
