Join us at this profound exploration of hope and resilience, emerging from the depths of struggle, loss, and grief.

Through her semi-abstract and conceptual series, Misako OBA channels personal experiences into visually compelling narratives that reflect both darkness and light. Over the past decade, she has explored a diverse range of mediums, including encaustic, watercolor, oil, acrylic, and printmaking, each layer infused with emotion and meaning. A pivotal moment in her artistic journey came with her first photographic work, where she discovered the healing power of creativity. The process of printing in the darkroom became not just an artistic endeavor but a form of physical and emotional relief, easing her pain and guiding her toward solace. Misako’s journey has been led by God, the source of her strength and inspiration. This exhibition reveals what art can do, portraying hope and resilience as they emerge from the depths of struggle, loss, and grief.

Exhibit will run through Sunday, June 8.
