by Rashana Youtzy
O’Hara shifts away from the documentation of species as something sterile though scientific, instead imbuing personality through bright colours, dynamic poses, and titles that present the bird and hand holding it as stars performing together.

Erika DeFreitas: An Exploration in Meditation and Reflection
by Rashana Youtzy
DeFreitas’ thoughtful display grants us an opportunity to be privy to the world as the artist understands it: the glimpses into their streams of consciousness, the meditative act of prayer, the idea of opening yourself up to a greater entity.
