Resilience is a celebration of the human capacity to withstand adversity and emerge stronger, wiser, and more creative. At the heart of this collection lies a exploration of resilience—not as a passive act, but as an active process of growth, adaptation, and renewal.

Each work in this exhibition is a testament to the artist’s journey through challenge and change. Through diverse mediums—painting, sculpture, and mixed media—these pieces capture moments of vulnerability, struggle, and ultimately, triumph. The creative process itself mirrors resilience: what begins with uncertainty and experimentation transforms through persistence and intent into art that illuminates and inspires.

Resilience runs October 17-November in the Gallery at Kirkland Art Center.

Opening reception Friday, October 17 from 6-8 pm.
