Roslyn Carrier-Brault will be the featured artist for the June Gallery Walk. The opening reception will take place on Friday, June 7, 5-8pm.
Roslyn’s new project will be presented as “Count Your Blessings: A Vision of Hope,” where she has challenged herself to reinvent her photographic style by revisiting her vast body of digital negatives to select images to be layered to create surrealistic, beautifully odd, maybe scary, always elegant and dream-like images. This project is her autobiographical, introspective journey.
Roslyn is also one of our teaching artists in the Art and Science AfterSchool Program.
The exhibit will be on display at the Green Street Arts Center through July 2. Come check it out.
