CMC Art Gallery

“re: Bloom – Raining Flowers” is featured at the CMC Art Gallery in Atrium Health Carolina Medical Center from November 1st, 2023, until the end of January 2024. 

It’s an honor to have my work showcased there, especially since this piece symbolizes “restarting” and “second chances” by using reclaimed copper wires. Placing it in a hospital setting feels perfect, as it aligns with the theme of wishing all patients a speedy recovery.

I have been wanting a chance to showcase the complete set in Charlotte for a long time, and I’m immensely grateful for this opportunity!
