Renella showcased very diverse bodies of work infusing acrylic on raw canvas, photography<br />

to wood transfer, and a frozen flower series. Although each artist displayed a very unique art<br />

form, the exhibit collectively captured each artist's own rendering of the beauty that can be<br />

found within the human spirit and the nature that surrounds us. The curator for this exhibit<br />

was Charmin Baaqee, assisted by Katherine Parker.<br />
