If you missed her reception at the beginning of the month, you still have a few more days to stop by the Capitol and check out BLUE: Art by Lilliah Star! This beautiful exhibit will be up until the end of May!

Lilliah Star is a Bowling Green based artist that specializes in acrylic and digital mediums. For her, art is meditation and a way to connect to her inner self. BLUE is an interpretation of the emotions that involve overcoming grief and depression. While these feelings may sit with us uncomfortably at times, we can overcome them and make amends with them to discover deeper parts of ourselves. The sunshine may be hiding just beyond the storm, waiting to return to a blue sky.
