Timi's Piece "Untitled" personifying the archetype of Crazy Cat Lady

Bea's diptych "Shades of Tiffany Blue and Gun Metal Grey" for her archetype working woman

Bea's Installation at Cleo's will take on a whole new perspective if you take a trip inside, but we'll save that for you to see in person

Corey's Installation at Home & Planet has a beautiful presence when lit at night

Corey's piece, by day from across the road

On opening night Corey did a performance, adding to her piece "Woven" while telling stories and carrying on traditions for her archetype of Matriarch

Merissa's Installation "Strength, Warmth, Energy, Energy, Energy"

Merissa's piece is a mobile above, constantly rotating powered by a small motor

At night, the silk backdrop colors create a whole new sense of scale

The progression forward of the mobile, as it moves above the grounded stump, telling the story of Persephone, and the idea of balance

Notice the graceful movement of the bottom most arm of the mobile, as it glides past the towers on the stump, epitomizing the archetype of multi-tasker mother

Massie's piece, "Untitled" captures the ideal of Scitentist Warrior

The mixed media portrait above, on a found table top, the cabinet below, holing the ephemera of a life well lived

Massie's piece, tucked away on the wall

Meghan's portraits, hung at Marla Duran's

Two of the portraits on the right, using traditionally feminine craft techniques to represent the archetype of Women of War
