Continue the art experience at the CAM Studio Gallery with Guest Studio Artist Zara Monet Feeney where she will share her existing work, a critique of misogyny, and give you an exclusive preview of the work she is currently working on during her residency. The newer pieces will comment on other political and personal tragedies such as mass violence and the decline of mental health. Feeney will demonstrate how she conveys these ideas in the painted collage of abstract and realistic imagery.
