“Untangling Our Roots” is an exhibition of artwork by Peggi Habets and Lauren Braun

In the exhibition, Peggi’s work explores the evolution from childhood beliefs and cultural influences to developing a unique path and voice as an adult. Each painting in the series addresses a different universal struggle and is infused with a solitary figure, enigmatic nature as a healing and guiding force, and/or spiritual and cultural symbolism. This series strives to embody mystery, beauty, exploration, and discovery.

Lauren's art practice consists of researching images and creating a library of collage materials in a cyclical process of drawing and painting, cutting out and arranging. This current body of work was inspired by shell shaped architectural moldings, tide pools, and Art Deco jewelry and design. Her process is a playful exploration of materials in collage, mixed media and ceramics.

Together the artists' work creates a seamless flow of nature, color, texture, and symbolism.
