Featured EXHIBIT: Impressions of LIfe
 

Raw. Vivid. Uninhibited. Impressionist LaShun Beal does not like to be confined to any certain medium or subject matter. His color choice was inspired by pigments found in nature and Beal looks at womanhood to define one’s culture- combining both color and femininity to display his signature “Universal Woman.” On display are vibrantly decorated paintings, charger/plates, and household items such as light switch covers, clocks, lamps, vases and coffee tables.
