The incredible intricacies of these works of art truly warrant a close look in this intimate setting. The foresight required to execute some of these pieces is mind-boggling.

​The exhibit is an exercise in exploring each artist's path to spiritual enlightenment. As Hilary Rice (creator of art below) says, "There is a meditation involved (and) it's difficult to say how long it takes to create a piece."
