Bella: Creating Art Throughout Life
July 1 - July 29, during open hours.
Bella (her artist name) is a Brazilian painter, musician, and puppeteer. Her exhibit, "Creating Art Throughout Life," reflects her connection to nature and her Brazilian heritage.
Bella says of her exhibit: "Art is a driving force. I taught myself to paint; it was like living life and learning from it. Birds taught me that life is always changing. Flowers taught me that colors and shapes are everywhere. Nature taught me that diversity is part of our existence." Her series, "Congado Procession," which is featured in the exhibit, pays tribute to a Brazilian festivity that blends African culture, Christian faith, and European tradition—a celebration of the cultural richness of the Brazilian people.
The exhibit is available to view when the Program Room is not in use.
