“It is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”
- Theodore Roosevelt

ÆRENA Galleries & Gardens’ uniquely beautiful art and design venues feature contemporary art and sculpture, as well as finely-edited collections of furnishings, objects and curiosities dating from the 18th century to the present.

ÆRENA Galleries and Gardens invites you to explore THE SHAPE OF YOU, a captivating showcase bringing together the complimentary talents of Liz Barber and Rob Snyder. Embarking on an exploration of nature's myriad forms, Barber's vibrant, abstract paintings and Snyder's intricate glass sculptures weave a narrative that invites viewers to reflect on the intrinsic connection between human perception and the natural environment.

Liz Barber's work portrays the intimate dialogue between the human spirit and the natural landscape. Her approach to painting involves a complex layering process that imbues each piece with a sense of depth and emotion, mirroring the ephemeral beauty of nature itself.

Rob Snyder's meticulous technique reflects the delicate balance of nature, embodying the fluidity of water and the sturdiness of rock in his glass works. Each piece is a testament to the transformative power of art, challenging viewers to see the world through a lens of wonder and appreciation.
