🌿✨ Renaissance in Bloom — Exhibition Opening Reception ✨🌿Join us for the opening of Renaissance in Bloom, a fine art and botanical jewelry exhibition that brings fresh life to classical imagery. The show features large black-and-white ink and colored-pencil illustrations paired with handcrafted resin jewelry made from real flowers. Each jewelry piece is displayed beside its illustrated counterpart, creating a beautiful connection between art, nature, and personal adornment.
At its core, Renaissance in Bloom is about visibility, storytelling, and honoring cultures often left out of traditional art history. The exhibition celebrates renewal, preservation, and the simple beauty of seeing yourself represented in the art around you.
