Exhibition Details:”Reflecting Beauty” brings together the distinct vision of three artists whose work explores the many ways beauty can be seen, felt and remembered.
Through the lens of world photographer, Jill Stafiej, viewers are invited to contemplate and reflect upon powerful moments captured across the globe. Stafiej, artistically portrays cultures, cityscapes, seascapes and landscapes that reveal the quiet poetry and beauty of everyday life.
Complimenting these images are the detailed realist pastel paintings of Diana Farrell, whose use of colour, texture, and light transforms familiar subjects into deeply emotional and intimate works of art. Each piece reflects a profound appreciation for detail, atmosphere, and the timeless beauty found in nature and human experience.
Completing the exhibition is the ethereal, yet dynamic mixed media work of artist and teacher, Nancy Slaght, whose layered and expressive creations blur the boundaries between traditional and contemporary art practices. Slaght’s work invites the viewer to reflect on creativity itself as a form of beauty and connection using birds and music.
Together, these three artists create a rich and inspiring dialogue between photography, realism, and mixed media expression. “Reflecting Beauty” celebrate a world view through three artistic viewpoints.
Participants: Diana Farrell, Jill Stafiej, Nancy Slaght
