Through multimedia work Lu Ray explores how femme bodies are perceived. De-centering sexuality from the nude female form, they instead invite the viewer to reflect on sensuality, connection to nature, and freedom from the male gaze.

Artist Tim Meehan brings together selected works from three of his series: Flyover Country, Waves, and Stones. All three focus on his abstracted views of nature.

This art series stems from Martha Valenta's profound encounter with a brain coral while snorkeling coral reefs in Belize. In the squiggling, chaotic lines of the brain coral, she saw her own vibrant, racing mind. Beyond the brain coral she observed other corals on the reef in their branching forms and fleeting colors. For the first time, she recognized the beauty of her mental energy, rather than instability. There she found acceptance and appreciation for her colorful, creative, ADHD mind.
