October Whispers Featured Artist for October opening 10/03/25 from 5pm to 9pm
“Through the Dark, Towards the Light” is a journey through October Whispers’ creations from 2018 to the present, where shadows and light entwine. These works breathe life into the weight of sorrow, fear, and uncertainty, while also uncovering resilience, renewal, and quiet strength. Each piece becomes a step along the path of transformation, reflecting the beauty found in struggle and the hope discovered on the other side of darkness.
October Whispers explores the darker facets of human emotion through a blend of acrylics and paint markers, allowing the paint to guide the artist's raw expression. Her works deeply resonate with viewers, inviting contemplation and connection.
Pieces of a Dark Soul
October Whispers art is little pieces of her dark soul. That is October Whispers. Through her art, October aims to help others with shared struggles, offering reassurance in moments of darkness.
This exhibit continues through Monday, November 3rd, 2025.
