Revalation Vineyards is pleased to exhibit Dr. Stephanie Mendlow’s work. Dr. Mendlow’s art radiates a deep passion for color, light, and nuance, capturing the beauty of both rural Virginia and her own journey. Rooted in her Manhattan upbringing, where skyscrapers, museums, and parks provided early inspiration, art became her sanctuary amidst the bustling cityscape. After a successful career as a cardiologist in Culpeper, Mendlow returned to her first love—painting—and began an exploration of how color and light evoke emotion. You can see her work at the Vineyard from now until the end of April.
