Artist Reception

Sierra Arts Riverside & Annex Galleries

March 28, 2026 | 1:00-3:30

Exhibiting Artist:

Braighlee Rainey | Stronger Together – The series is a whole hearted celebration of women. It takes the images, the stories, the essence of 10 women and not only allows each one to speak individually on her own canvas as an archetype and symbol, but also allows them to speak together as a whole. These large scale paintings are all life sized portraits of women in my life, and its this series that is my love letter to women in general, but also to myself and to our own collective histories and bodies. 

Leah Andrews | Snapshot of the Sierras – Honestly, I try to find unique beauty in everything I see and try to relate that into my work. I love nature, and I feel there is beauty in its imperfections. This makes it believable. I want my work to not only add to its space but be something one can get lost in. 

Carol Foldvary-Anderson | Creating Beauty, Inspiring Joy – Inspiring quotes on navigating life from the wisdom of exceptional Women: truth seekers from different cultures and eras.  Their words and actions defined their life trials, viewpoints, and existence.  Their life and words have inspired Women to achieve greatness themselves. 

Gallery Hours:  Tuesday – Saturday 11:00am to 4:00pm
