* Turmoil

Turmoil is defined as a state of great disturbance, confusion, or uncertainty.  It can be personal and internal, societal or natural.

This exhibition features work that depicts chaos, discord, imbalance, and tumult. Artists were requested to explore the meaning of turmoil in their own lives. The works selected represent turmoil through color, line, and composition.
