What inspires you to create? UNLV students Ambre Daudet, Irem Ergunes, Charlene Gassett, Kaitlyn Hinojosa, Emily Kettles and Clara Tang present Blooming Fruition, an online exhibition that draws on the themes of imagination and creativity. The artists featured in the exhibition include: Johnathan Espitia, Deron Fisher, Armando Fonseca, Jacqueline Garcia, Jesus Gonzalez, Cynthia Hamika, Katie Hoffman, Parker L., Melanie La May, Maricela Lopez, Julie Meyers, Karllon Musni, Katlin Quezada, Richard Saladino, Shawanda Schiefer, Nanako Wagley, YEJ and Jamie Zepeda.

Blooming Fruition invited artists to reflect upon their creative process by presenting the evolution of an idea into its final form. From sketchbook pages, drawings and inspiration boards to revisiting unfinished artworks, the artists in the exhibition lead the viewer through their process to unveil their creative journey. Blooming Fruition features 18 artists working in a range of media. Artists were encouraged to document their process as they created new work or revitalized an abandoned piece. Thank you to the artists who shared an inside view of their artistic ingenuity with us and the viewers.

The online exhibition will be presented on the UNLV Department of Art Donna Beam Gallery Online Exhibitions website: http://donnabeamexhibitions.sites.unlv.edu.
