Tara Juozitis and Mandarin Drummond are two artists exploring human experiences in a collaborative exhibit.

Juozitis is an artist born and raised in Michigan and is inspired by just about anything. Juozitis displays the definition of mixed media and loves to create all things and tends to stay away from the defined boundaries of any one genre. Her painting experience includes everything from realism to abstract, acrylic to oil, fluid to fabric. Juozitis’ exhibition explores the theme of women empowerment through two distinct but complementary series: "5 Stages of Grief" and "Rise From Ashes." Each series will allow her to share a personal narrative while also highlighting universal experiences, particularly the emotional resilience of women in the face of life's challenges.

Drummond is a contemporary painter exploring anthropology. His work emphasizes culture, norms, relationships, urban life and the struggles people create in their own lives and as a society. His work encourages a sense of empathy, with the goal to relate to his viewers and feel what they feel.
