Sheila Crider Way Finding Way Finding, an installation of recent works that seek to expand the language of abstraction. Through contrasting painted materials, the exhibition serves as a reference to the unanticipated changes we experience in our daily lives. An earlier body of work titled “Ghosts’ Stories” started with canvases used to absorb excess paint from a previous series, which used polyester quilt batting as a substrate. Her objective here is to employ both materials in the same work to articulate contemporary events. May 3–June 2, 2025 IA&A at Hillyer 9 Hillyer Ct NW Dupont Circle, Washington DC 20008

Rachel L. Cecelski, immersed herself in art since childhood, she earned a BFA in Illustration with a minor in Art History in 2012. Rachel works across various mediums, with texture as a constant in her pieces. Whether using oil, acrylic, watercolor, or mixed medium—blending hand-drawn, digital elements, wire, jewels, and cut paper/fabric—Rachel’s artistic style is defined by its tactile depth and the unique vision texture brings to each piece. Rachel L. Cecelski Sweetspire Garnet Foliage 2024 Acrylic 10 x 10 inSweetspire Garnet Foliage is inspired by a plant I often admire from my window. When the sunlight hits it just right, the leaves explode into vivid reds, magentas, and purples. The brushwork mirrors the fluid movement of light across the plant, bringing out the intricate veins and vibrant colors that highlight the unique beauty of this otherwise dark purple foliage.

Anne Bouie is a mixed media artist and historian whose work addresses the universality of spiritual and social traditions that serve to mold, define and explain their relationship to the Earth and one another. She explores how art is not set apart, how it is deployed, experienced and encountered depending upon the viewer. Material culture creates, reflects, and maintains an alternate frame of reference meanings, and aesthetics. She asserts that the continuity of cultures and beliefs draw from a universal well that affirms the transcendence of spirit across peoples, cultures, time, and space, along with the ability and willingness of the discerning spirit to look where others may not, or will not. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, her perspectives and spirituality are rooted in the spiritual teachings of the AME church, Jackson County, Florida and study and participation in alternative spiritual paths. She holds a PhD. In Educational Policy and administration, an MA in secondary education, and an MA in History, from Stanford University. She resides and works in the District of Columbia.
