Artist: Lewis LaBrashé
Exhibition Dates: November 2, 2022 - January 4, 2023
Lewis LaBrashé describes himself as an Artist/Expressionist. Inspired by the natural landscapes he encounters while hiking, he loves recreating these in his work. Many of his paintings are directly influenced by the time he spends in nature. LaBrashé feels that working in one medium is too restrictive, so often uses multiple media (including acrylics, resins and pastels) to achieve the desired effect.

One Main Street
Artist: Bella Kim
Title: "Winter Tidings" and "JOGAKBO Journey: Save Big"
Exhibition Dates: October 10, 2022 - January 2, 2023
Artist Bella Kim creates beautiful textile artworks using recycled materials. She loves to see "the harmony of small and insignificant patches, which blend so well together, often making patterns, textures, and unexpected effects such as transparency, shadows, and even 3-dimensional structures." Inspired by Korean traditional and western abstract art, Kim writes about how creativity is "often sparked by my imagination from nature, and the world around me. This transformation of useless materials into meaningful results gives me endless joy and I hope that people would also appreciate how ordinary materials can be used for art."
