“Everything was so clean and fresh and full of light, that Anne felt she must be in some dream of color—color everywhere—the sunshine was like spilled gold.”
— L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
Brilliant Becoming is a celebration of transformation — both sudden and steady, wild and wondrous.
In this pairing of works, bold, kinetic explosions of color evoke moments of personal triumph, where chaos gives way to clarity and spirit breaks into full bloom. From the raw, emotional energy captured in abstract bursts to the luminous landscapes of renewal, the exhibit invites viewers to witness the many forms of becoming: the fiery victories, the quiet awakenings, and the enduring beauty that follows.
Together, these artworks remind us that growth is not a single moment but an unfolding — a vibrant, living journey toward light, strength, and limitless possibility.

Curator's Statement
Brilliant Becoming is about growth — the kind that’s bold, beautiful, and ongoing. These pieces reflect moments of change, energy, and emotional movement. Some feel like breakthroughs, others like quiet shifts — but all of them speak to what it means to evolve.
As curator, my hope is that this exhibit feels like an invitation: to reflect and connect with the beauty of where you are right now.
