Stronger Together & Snapshot of the Sierras

Exhibit Dates: March 10 – April 1, 2026

Artist Reception: Saturday March 28th 1pm-3:30pm

Braighlee Rainey – Stronger Together

The series I’m working on right now 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 it’s this series that is my love letter to women in general, but also to myself and to our own collective histories and bodies. 

It’s beautiful that women’s history gets a whole month of the year, but women deserve to be celebrated every day, 365 days of each year. My work ties with Women’s History Month beautifully because you will see not only a collection of women in the community that make a difference every day though the series of life sized portraits, but also a collection of women in history, who have made such impacts throughout our timeline that continue to make impacts even in 2026. I strive to be a woman who makes such an impact one day.
 

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.
