Multiple Visions 2: The Arts Warehouse Today and Tomorrow
The exhibition includes both present residents and recent alumni to the resident artist studio program at Arts Warehouse. The exhibition invites viewers to explore the artists’ distinct viewpoints and disciplines, as they are united in their desire to share their stories, dreams, imagination, and passions through their chosen artistic medium varying from clay, mixed media, textiles, photography, and paint. The satellite exhibition held at BRiC brings the collective of artists outside of the Arts Warehouse studio halls, and into a new space.

The competitive Resident Artist Program at Arts Warehouse is made up of private artist studios, supporting artists as small businesses. One of the joys of working on their individual artistic visions at Arts Warehouse is the access to the public through studio visits, First Fridays, special exhibitions, classes and programs.  The studios offer the resident artists the opportunity to interact daily and develop their individual expression through their practice while working, learning, and sharing with one another as a collective. In this exhibition we feature the work of 5 current and 5 former resident artists who have moved on after four years to another studio or opportunity.

“The Arts Warehouse is often referred to as an incubator.  The studio access and community interaction helped take my art practice to the next level. As a new Florida resident, I was able to immerse myself in my studio environment and allow its influence to permeate my work while exposing me to South Florida and its unique arts community”, says Bonnie Levinson, former resident artist and curator of the exhibition at the BRIC. This was such a gift and helped propel me to the next level.

On the heels of a successful Resident Artist exhibition Our Walls Talk in late 2024 at Arts Warehouse, Multiple Visions 2 celebrates each artist’s unique practice, extending their reach beyond their studio spaces, into the vibrant South Florida arts community. The high quality of work exhibited is a testament to the caliber of artists at Arts Warehouse. The exhibition at the BRIC is an opportunity for a larger audience to experience this unique group of artists in a new setting and encourage further conversation in each artist’s personal studio spaces and beyond.

The exhibition opens with a reception on April 17, 2025, from 5 – 6:30pm and continues through April 2026. Throughout the exhibition there will be in-person public programming “ Coffee & Conversations” which was a very popular addition to the exhibition experience last year. Please feel free to contact the curator of the Multiple Visions exhibition, resident artist, Bonnie Levinson  bonnielevinson@gmail.com or @bonnielevinsonarts for more information or if you would like to participate in the public programming.

 

BRIC Exhibiting Former* and Resident Artists

*Jocelyn Chemel’s art practice is about her response to social and environmental events.  During Covid she became aware of the ease of cells being able to mutate, about the world shutting down, and plants growing wild with no one to tame them.  The photographs in this Multiple Visions exhibition play with the notion of the wild– scattered, misplaced, colored and in limbo.

*Andrea Facusse is a multimedia artist and biologist. Her work focuses on painting and mixed media to capture the interplay between nature, memory, and human emotion, creating pieces that evoke both nostalgia and wonder.

Sarah E. Huang is a multidisciplinary artist currently exploring themes of memory and identity through paintings, installations, and soft sculpture objects. Her intimate abstract paintings form dream-like environments depicted through luscious swaths of color, mark-making, and texture that recall emotional landscapes, distant memories, and liminal.

*Bonnie Levinson has moved to a beautiful new space in West Palm Beach, Studio 1608, where she continues her explorations by mixing painting, photography, and collage to achieve a distinct form of visual abstraction.  Inspired by the natural environment and travels, her projects seek to express that which is hidden beneath, often invisible, to express alternate realities from her imagination.

Ma Nong’s art is driven by her interest in her identity, her signature series favor cubes and diamonds, on both large and small scales, and in bold colors and imaginative formations. She is working on abstract figure paintings and mixed media.

Renée Rey invites viewers to step into a realm where absence speaks as loudly as presence, offering immersive worlds where surrealism and abstraction converge. In large and intimate scaled paintings and mixed media work, Rey blends fragmented imagery with both traditional and non-traditional materials—oil, acrylic, cardboard, branches, and pearls—to explore the tension between nature, technology, and the built environment. Her work challenges perception calls for environmental stewardship and reimagines a future where cultures and nature coexist harmoniously, sparking reflection on our shared responsibility to the planet.

Marianela Pérez is a visual artist; her artwork transcends the conventional limits of geometric work to become a profoundly vibrant and emotional experience. We find in her creations a perfect fusion between simplicity and complexity, where geometry becomes a means to express the artist’s most intimate ideas. Looking at Pérez’s work, the viewer is immersed in an emotional journey where forms and structures become gateways to the artist’s memories and experiences. Each line, each vibrant color leads us to different emotional and mental places, taking us beyond simple observation into a deep and meaningful experience

*Amanda Perna is an award-winning fashion designer, illustrator, and Project Runway alum known for her vibrant, joy-filled creations. Her work bridges the worlds of fashion and fine art, bringing illustrations to life with bold color, texture, and 3D elements. Each piece reflects her passion for storytelling, craftsmanship, and inspiring others to embrace their unique creativity.  She recently opened House of Perna in Pineapple Grove Delray Beach featuring her original designs.

*Renee Phillips’s process-based practice investigates materiality, experimentation, and the transformative potential of color. In my new West Palm Beach art studio. She is currently investigating rhythmic patterns found in nature through a layering technique of latex paint, spray paint and a power sander – the results reveal highly tactile yet meditative surfaces.

Kelley Ryan‘s work has recently transitioned from acrylic to oil paintings.  This shift has introduced a richer texture, allowing more depth and values in her work which has changed the way she paints and lends itself to her portraits.  The luminous quality of oil paint amplifies the tension between modern motifs and classical influence, creating a more immersive and resonant visual experience.
