Mezzanine

A Playground of Light and Color

July 15 - September 14, 2026

For Mary Clare McCartin, art became much more than a creative outlet. Following the loss of her son and a move to Arizona, painting became a path toward healing, hope, and rediscovering herself. Today, her vibrant acrylic, oil, alcohol ink paintings, and stained-glass mosaics celebrate nature, color, and the idea that life's many small pieces come together to create something meaningful. Every piece is created from the soul, with the hope of bringing joy to others.

Sharing the exhibition is Cindi Shaffer of Astral Glass Studio, whose stunning kiln-formed glass artwork is filled with flowing color, depth, and light. Inspired by a childhood spent working with textiles and decades of studying fused and cast glass techniques, Cindi transforms glass into luminous works that showcase both technical mastery and artistic beauty.
