Artist Reception: Saturday, March 30 at 1:00PM
| Drop by to meet artist Kayla Snover, whose art exhibit Spreading the Joy of Color will be on display throughout the month of March. | About Kayla Snover Studio |
Kayla Snover Studio is where color and shapes combine to create dynamic pieces. Founded in 2020, my passion for color is evident through the use of the complete spectrum of the rainbow in my pieces. I am a proud artist with Down Syndrome who works at Gateway Arts in Brookline, Massachusetts. I also produce many pieces at my home studio in Lynnfield, MA. Art has provided me a way of expressing myself and the beauty of the world around me! I cannot wait to share my art with everyone and make the world a little bit more colorful one piece at a time! |
About the Exhibit |
World Down Syndrome Day is March 21st. The theme for 2024 is End The Stereotypes. This exhibit's goal is to celebrate people with Down Syndrome and make others aware of their abilities and accomplishments. The exhibit will include abstract acrylic painting on paper, wood, and canvas; pieces created using recycled Tyvek materials and watercolors; and abstract embroidery pieces. |
