SUMMARY:Radical Happiness: Lex Gjurasic
DESCRIPTION:Over the last year and a half\, the pandemic has left many people in emotional limbo. As a result\, many have sought out coping mechanisms both old and new. Tucson-based artist Lex Gjurasic has stayed buoyant by continuing to do what she has been doing for decades—creating art at an extraordinarily prolific pace. Gjurasic’s recent Flower Mounds series hearkens back to her childhood\, when she found herself in the hospital quite often and soothed herself by obsessively getting lost in the inner world of her imagination. As an adult\, she now activates her passion for drawing flowers to combat anxiety\, which propels her practice and improves her mental health. Through her obsessive process\, Gjurasic actively strives towards radical happiness and hopes that others might also find levity and a path to joy – so c’mon and get happy\, y’all! \nExhibition Programming\nMake and Take: Painted Flower Pots\nSaturday\, February 26\, 1-3pm\nChandler Center for the Arts \nOn Saturday\, February 26 from 1-3pm\, meet artist Lex Gjurasic and paint your own flower pot inspired by Radical Happiness at the Chandler Center for the Arts! Once your pot is painted\, representatives with the Maricopa Native Seed Library will help you plant it with seeds for a native plant to take home. All ages welcome\, and all supplies provided. This activity is self-led and first come\, first serve until supplies run out. \nThis event is inspired by Radical Happiness by Lex Gjurasic\, which showcases Gjurasic’s colorful art that she makes to improve her mental health.

SUMMARY:Chasing Ghosts
DESCRIPTION:Image by Kaitlin Jencso \nGrief is a messy\, complicated and sometimes beautiful part of life. It is often hard to understand grief’s nuances until you are in the throes of it yourself. However\, for the past two years\, many of us have been collectively grieving a variety of losses: jobs\, loved ones\, and maybe even life as we knew it. From despair to anger to hope\, we have been going through all the stages of grief. As we slowly transition out of this phase of history\, many people are looking to understand their experience better. How does one heal from grief in a healthy way? How do you mourn for someone who hasn’t yet passed? How do you deal with a sudden loss? How do you move on without forgetting? For this exhibition\, artists both near and far explore different points of the grieving process.  Each of the artists is cathartically working through their emotions; trying to answer these questions while continuing their practice. \nThe Vision Gallery wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to the artists and their families who were willing to share their stories with us. Grief is an incredibly personal experience\, and we hope that this exhibition will be cathartic for those that may be struggling. \nExhibiting artists: Mikey Estes\, Kaitlin Jencso\, Daniel Kim\, Serge J-F. Levy\, and Jen Urso \nExhibition Photos
