Glass Growers will be exhibiting a collection of remarkable mixed media works by Leah Humphries from Thursday, February 20 - Saturday, March 22, 2025 with a Gallery Night Artist Reception.
"The mixed media work is an exploration of modernity and movement, shaped by my background in fine art and graphic design. Each piece is a dialogue between form and function, where unexpected themes emerge and evolve. The selection of my subject matter is an organic process, almost as if the subjects choose me. I embrace a fluid approach, allowing my style to evolve beyond the confines of any single genre. This journey often leads to surprising discoveries that push the boundaries of creativity and playfulness." - Leah Humphries

Isabella’s “I’m Just a Girl” exhibit is an exploration of girlhood in all its complexity. Inspired by the emotions and experiences that shape us. At its heart, this collection draws deeply from the power of music - songs like No Doubt’s “I’m Just a Girl” and Brenda Lee’s “Emotions” serving as the thread that binds the elements of joy, heartbreak, vulnerability, fierce individuality, and overall the beauty of being a woman. This exhibit is not just a reflection but an invitation - to embrace the rhythm, the melodies, and the deeply felt experiences of being just a girl - yet so much more.
