Hera Gallery is excited to highlight artists from the 2020 URI Senior Seminar Online Catalogue, which is available now through our website! Nicole Elyse Young: "Instinct/Dreaming of You/Lucy" "This process for me has been enlightening and therapeutic. In a confusing and frustrating time, I was thankful for the opportunity to have a creative outlet. I thought a lot about what I like to draw and why. I find I have the most success when I sit down with a cup of coffee and no distractions. I gathered any materials I could find, including flashcards for paper and Tupperware lid as my pallet, and began to reflect on my subject matter. The more I made, the more I realized the materials are simply a device to explain my dreams in the physical world."  To read more about this artist and view the rest of the catalogue, visit heragallery.org and stay tuned for more artist features!
