The artists of Layers of Be-ing use various media to encourage viewers to see below the surface to find our shared humanity.

Kathleen Kvern’s abstract encaustic paintings use the luminosity, distortion and imperfections of her medium to connect to the mysteries of humanity. Cynthia Maria uses a layering and excavation process with cold wax medium to evoke subliminal vibrational energy in her work. Nina Martine Robinson uses deconstructed clothing and sewing techniques to create unique place-based fiber works that encourage a dialogue about awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity.
