  • WOW show was featured in the News Gazette

    Beyond honored and amazed to have our art show featured. We got a photoshoot and the interview early this week. Here's the result! We talked about how the group got together, defined the there and peek of what you will be seen this weekend. Here's part of it:  

    This year, that trio — Jennifer Lask, Clara de la Fuente and Teresa Ellis — have teamed up for a multimedia exhibit called “World of Wonders” in this year’s Boneyard Arts Festival, focused on nature’s ability to heal.

    “I think the person who comes to this show leaves feeling like ‘I need to spend more time in nature,’” de la Fuente said. “At the end of the day, life is hard as it is, so it’s important to take a minute to reflect on the experience and absorb what we should and let other things go.”

    Come to meet the artists:

    Friday April 14 9pm-10,30pm and Saturday April 15th 8pm-10pm (live painting show at 8.30pm)

    at Analog Wine Library (129 N. Race st, Urbana, IL)
