Januszkiewicz describes the show. "As a full-time artist and instructor, I know how impactful strong composition and intentional color choices can be. I was captivated by works that showcase these elements with clarity and boldness. This selection celebrates diverse visions from a talented range of creatives, each piece embodying a unique, vibrant expression. I greatly encourage the public to drop in and experience this collection of vivid work—it promises to be a stimulating and entertaining encounter with the power of visual art. This exhibit invites us to see color not just as a visual element, but as a force that shapes mood, message, and meaning in unforgettable ways—a testament to the enduring power of vivid expression in art."
