OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Susan Verekar Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I love everything to do with color.
My art often embraces raw emotion, transformation, coming into one’s power, and a balance between light and dark.
I paint with acrylics and oils and play with alcohol inks.
I started painting a year ago as I was struggling to find my identity after becoming a mom.
It started as a creative outlet but become a way to find myself again.

More Exhibits
The Leah Yaun Exhibit
This piece is titled “Fear of Him”. It is about a time in my life when I kept quite about a series of situations in fear of what would happen if I spoke up. It is too common women are belittled by boys because boys think they can do anything they want. I think it is important to note that women are so much stronger than what society views us as.
The Meg Nocero Exhibit
When in April of 2011 I lost my mother to breast cancer, I also lost my way. Perseverance and a never give up attitude is certainly something I learned from my Italian American upbringing as well as a love of writing, reading books and the arts. Navigating the grieving process, I turned to writing as a healing tool. I started simply. I would wake in the morning and read from a book that resonated with me.
The Victoria Walsh Exhibit
My work is texture inspired. Shadows, light play and layers add to the depth of my fiber art and practice. This piece was made during a recent residency at The Art and History Museums in Maitland FL, right before leaving my hometown and moving to Knoxville TN.
