The Art Gallery at St. Paul’s was started in 2015 by a group of dedicated artists from the congregation. Stemming from a vision of providing a space in downtown Brighton for local artists to display their work, several renowned art pieces have hung on the walls at St. Paul’s.
Each exhibit is unique and highlights the many forms of art expression present in the wider community. Each exhibit lasts approximately 4 months.
Please contact the parish office if you are interested in exhibiting at St. Paul’s.

Artist Statement
I like experimenting with the various ways colors can interact with each other and I also enjoy working with line. I use a variety of mediums, including pencil, marker, and paint.
I find inspiration from viewing the work of my community of fellow artists, both in person and on social media. I have a little plan in mind but I let the work take me on a journey of creating. “Mistakes” give me a sense of direction as to what comes next during the process.
Making is simply a fulfilling and enjoyable process for me. I’ve found community, friendships, and connections through art. Consistent creation has helped me as an artist and a person.
