Laurel Ann "LA" Riley, locally-grown emerging artist and educator, presents a new body of work, Home Inside, in the Dance Palace Community & Cultural Center's inaugural online art show, presented by the Dance Palace Art Committee.

LA uses watercolor mixed-media to tell visual stories about the magic and emotional landscape of everyday life. Through vivid brush-strokes and playful colors, the work combines natural and architectural elements, self-portraits and poetry, exploring dreams, inverted worlds, and the experience of being alive in a body. This collection has been created over the past 9 months of the artist's time living in Uruguay.

The reception event will feature a conversation with the artist discussing several pieces, followed by a Q&A session.

The online gallery will be available for viewing on the Dance Palace's Online Art Gallery for the month of October.
