Sukenya Best, local educator and artist will display her exhibition "Dancing Ink" in the Main Gallery. Her lush, large-scale monoprints will be suspended from the ceiling to allow visual access to both sides of the work. Best is a Style Weekly 2013 Women in the Arts Honoree, whose visual arts background runs parallel to her passion for dance. The imagery for her work is a combination of dance and print, with recurring symbols of dancing footprints. Her works, each 8 feet by 5 feet, are "propelled by an appreciation for color, music and dance," are an "autobiographical link to (her) family�s history in the Caribbean Islands, New York City and Central Virginia." Best received her BFA from VCU�s Dept of Painting and Printmaking, her MFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and has been featured in the international publication "Studio Visit Magazine."
