For centuries, portraiture has served as a means to preserve likenesses of men and women both famous and anonymous. Portraits have also illuminated a dialogue between the artist's interpretation and the sitter's desires. Evidence of artistic vision in contemporary portraiture shows an amplified, satirized or re-invented stylization.

Persona is a group exhibition of six dynamic artists who display a kinship toward the portrait as an artistic practice as well as a catalyst for conceptual methodology. The show investigates the psyche, identity, and character of those portrayed in a wide range of approaches in painting, drawing, and the photographic mediums. The works also provoke contemplation on the beauty in facial features, expression, and emotion through staged, candid and fantastical illustrations.
