Serenity NOw.png

Serenity Now features 7 women from across the globe. The artists have very different practices, working in a variety of media, but with a common thread that connects them.

 

With unique and thought provoking viewpoints, each woman's perspective evokes a feeling of tranquility- a much needed state of being, amidst the mayhem.

Frank Costanza (Seinfeld season 9, episode 3), implored us to join in as he screamed this mantra, "Serenity Now", and so we have.
