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 Katrina Julianne Scott Exhibit
I was taught from a young age that women were meant to be quiet and pleasant, never loud or angry. When I reached college, I encountered men who took advantage of that mindset and of my naivety. I soon found other women who shared those experiences and felt a similar sense of frustration towards the narrative expected of women.
The Connie Flachs Exhibit
I am inspired by movement and human growth, physical, mental and spiritual. This work in particular is part of a series of dance journal entries that have enabled me to document a time of major transition (of career, personal life, and place) in my life. The female spirit, to me, is sensual, feeling, flexible, and deep.
