SUMMARY:Portraits of Place
DESCRIPTION:Portraits of Place is part of a series of site-specific botanical collaborations that honor the land and our connection to it\, created by artist Hillary Waters Fayle. \nSourced from parks\, gardens\, or private properties\, each piece pays tribute to the people who have come before—those who tilled the soil\, planted seeds\, or tended trees and flowers. Pressed and preserved plant materials are carefully arranged and adhered to paper or acrylic\, visually reflecting the spectrum of human interaction with nature\, from wild meadows to formal gardens. The patterns formed by leaves\, petals\, and seeds express a deeper structure of connection within the natural world and our shared experiences. \nWhen a blueprint is to be made\, the finished arrangement is placed over watercolor paper coated with UV-sensitive iron salts. Exposed to sunlight\, the leaves cast shadows that block the rays\, creating a striking contrast once the paper is rinsed and dried: deep blue where the sun touched\, and pale hues where shadows fell. This cyanotype process—the original method for making blueprints—mirrors the themes of the work itself: sunlight as a life-giving force\, essential to plants\, to the cotton in the paper\, and to the image-making process. The result is both a visual record and a symbolic reflection of the land’s enduring story.

SUMMARY:Water and Stone Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Born in Long Island\, N.Y.\, Nancy Kulik received her Bachelor of Science degree in Fine Arts with a scholarship from Hofstra University. During her time there\, she had the opportunity to attend school in Rome and travel across Europe for a semester. This period of her education opened her soul to a deep connection with the Creator and creation through art\, people\, places\, and remarkable life experiences. It also sparked a lifelong passion for ministry and space planning\, two pursuits that often intertwine in unexpected ways. \nArt has always been a deeply personal spiritual experience for her\, both in the creative process and in visual expression. This connection has been most profoundly reflected in her recent exploration of the relationship between nature and scripture\, seeing them as tandem reflections of one another. \nThis exhibition is located in the Lora M. Robins Library and is included with Garden admission. Please note\, the library is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

SUMMARY:Singularity is a Forest
DESCRIPTION:Experience Singularity is a Forest\, a photography series by Álvaro Alejandro López\, a self-taught photographer from Mexico City. López’s photography invites viewers to explore the spaces between what is seen and what is felt. His images challenge us to look beyond the surface\, revealing connections between seemingly unrelated objects and moments. Each photograph serves as a mirror\, reflecting both the visible and the hidden\, inviting the observer to dive deeper into a world where every fragment contributes to a greater\, unspoken narrative. In Singularity is a Forest\, an aesthetic approach to the features and scars that give life to the individuality of each tree\, Álvaro’s photographs are accompanied by his poetry as well.

SUMMARY:Soul for Soil
DESCRIPTION:“Soul for Soil” is an artistic exploration of the profound\, historical\, and spiritual connection between African American culture and the natural world. This exhibit delves into the deep-rooted relationship with the earth—one that is both ancestral and contemporary\, shaped by resilience\, creativity\, and renewal.  \nThrough the lens of spring\, a season of rebirth and transformation\, the works in this collection reflect the cyclical journey of growth\, healing\, and liberation. They honor the land as a witness to African American stories—fields tilled with labor and love\, gardens nurtured by generations\, and spaces where spirits find solace and strength. Each piece in “Soul for Soil” celebrates the enduring ties to the earth\, not only as a source of sustenance but as a sacred space for reclaiming identity\, finding belonging\, and sowing seeds of future possibilities.  \nBy reconnecting to nature and embracing the vitality of spring\, this exhibit invites viewers to consider how the land carries deep meaning to our past and continues to shape our collective future. \nThis exhibition was curated by The Art Seen. \nLocation: Community Art Gallery in the Kelly Education Center (included with Garden admission)
