Ao5 Gallery will present an Art Happy Hour with Nevena Bentz. The artistic journey of Bentz, who was born in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, is an exploration of female identity. She chooses female fragments and distortion as a means to expose women’s inner contradictions, struggles and unease.

Her current series, "One," seeks to communicate notions of interconnection and inseparability of people and the natural world. The series honors creation as a counterforce to destruction. The idea of oneness becomes a channel for elevating collective consciousness. It opens hearts to wonder and humility, becoming a portal to love and compassion for all creation.\

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through July 11.
