Main Gallery – Shannon Holland
Shannon Holland is an emerging artist in her field of study contemporary expressive representational art. An avid philanthropist using art for social awareness, and self-expression. Her style amplifies both the beauty of the work itself and the message represented. Themes of transparency, women’s rights, sexuality, and social and political issues that affect a number of individuals in society are brought to light through her work. She interacts with a multitude of degrees of life, drawing inspiration from all. Portraying struggles through her art in an attempt to change anxiety, and fear into something not only beautiful, but also thought provoking.
In the White Gallery – Sam Frazer

"Invoking one's soul onto the canvas always presents a formidable challenge to me." ` Sam Frazer
