TWO PERFORMANCES ONLY!

BABS’LAB presents Nurturing the Surreal, a solo Art Exhibit by the divine Kelli Suzanne. Kelli, known for her humor, authenticity and wit, will regale us with stories about how her art and creativity shaped, nurtured and saved her. A regular storyteller at the BABS’LAB Story Slams, Kelli proclaims, "Living begins when hiding ends."

ABOUT Kelli Suzanne
A small town southern woman with a gypsy soul, Kelli Suzanne, like her art, is a colorful contradiction. Her paintings in her first solo exhibit From Darkness to Light (January - March ) at the Karpeles Museum, sing with longing, beckoning for us to peer beneath the facade reality wears so well and gaze into the swirling layers beneath where sexuality, glorious pain, and pure joy live.

Her art juxtaposes repression with desire, light with darkness and makes us wonder what reality lies behind our own masks, what undulating desires might lay dormant yearning to be unleashed.

Barbara Colaciello, Artistic Director of BABS’LAB, who serves as a sounding board and director for solo artists, recalls, “I encouraged Kelli to develop a story that she told at a Story Slam reflecting on her acceptance of being an artiist into a longer piece in conjunction with her fabulous paintings. She took it to heart and ran with it.”
