Art League Rhode Island (“ALRI”), in collaboration with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University will sponsor an interpretive exhibition which will feature varied works by artists Victoria Guerina and Betsy Ritz in which the human brain, the complex and mysterious organ that directs our thoughts, behavior, and all aspects of our lives, is investigated. The exhibition opening coincides with National Brain Awareness Week.

Guerina’s and Ritz’s work, along with other artists from around the world, were displayed at last year’s 1st Annual CSF Symposium’s Juried Exhibition held at The Warren Alpert Medical School (also a cooperative effort between ALRI and The Warren Alpert Medical School). Both artists were awarded a joint exhibition by jurors.

Award winning artists Guerina and Ritz both work in multiple mediums—clay, collage, drawings, gouache, paper, paint, photography, textiles and other materials—and have a background and special interest in the sciences, particularly with respect to the human brain.

Ritz has worked as a professional photographer, curatorial mentee, writing lab instructor, and managing editor, writer and photographer for the Texas Gardener Magazine. She has exhibited her photographs, paintings and mixed-media work in both solo and group shows and dozens of juried exhibitions throughout the country.
