Venvi Art Gallery is excited to announce "Layers", by artist Leah Macdonald. This exhibition will be on display from March 3rd to May 17th, with its opening reception on March 28th from 5-8pm.

"Layers" showcases Macdonald’s encaustic pieces done on wood panels. These pieces explore accumulation, memory, and transformation through photography, printmaking, and encaustic. Each piece is built through a process of layered collaging, where images are added, obscured, reworked, and repositioned so that no single layer is fixed or final. With Macdonald’s use of photographs of women, horses, and flowers, these works hover between presence and erasure. The encaustic surface both preserves and conceals, which allows fragments to surface while others recede. By adding layers together rather than resolving them, "Layers" reflects the complexity of identity, strength, and vulnerability. The works in this exhibition have meaning that is formed not in a single image, but in the tension and dialogue between them.

Leah Macdonald obtained her MFA in Photography from the California College of Art. Throughout her career, she has been a commercial photographer, analog printer, and college professor. She later became the Education Curriculum Director at the Manayunk-Roxborough Art Center. In 2007, she was asked to do a live encaustic painting demonstration on the Martha Stewart show. Macdonald’s career in the arts is prolific, with exhibition work, handmade self-published books of her work, and more. She recently launched a new website titled “Lost Light Luv”, which features her analog photography. Her encaustic photos are represented by numerous galleries, including Inliquid Arts, Saatchi Art, Galerie BMG and Cerulean Art Gallery in Philadelphia. Macdonald’s experience in photography and mixed media have become a new artistic technique called “photogestic”. Macdonald also works with students in the Philadelphia school district.

"Layers" will be on display from March 3rd to May 17th. Its opening will be on March 28th from 5-8pm. Venvi Art Gallery is located at 2901 E Park Ave Unit 2800 Tallahassee, FL 32301. To learn more about this exhibition and Leah Macdonald’s work, please visit www.venviartgallery.com.
