Redemption Garden Review by Stephanie Benedict

Redemption Garden has blossomed at the SMUD Art Gallery!

Artist and blogger, Stephanie Benedict, attended the opening reception, and wrote a review of the show. Read the review here.

Stephanie does beautiful work and currently has a piece at the Haggin Museum in Stockton as part of the 57th Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition. More information here.

Thank you, Stephanie, for attending the opening reception, and for taking the time and effort to write such a thoughtful review! Thank you also for sharing your art with the world, and in turn, making it a more beautiful place! Artists rock!

P.S. We just had our opening reception for "Redemption Garden" at the SMUD Art Gallery last Thursday, and it was a water bottle cutting success! We will likely have some photos and video to share from the reception on Saturday; please feel free to bring your pictures, videos and memories to share if you were there as well.

It was so neat to see people get excited about the water bottle flowers. Some people made their own water bottle flowers and even added them to the display!!
