Celebrate the opening of Casi Fordham’s newest watercolor collection, Internal Optimism, a personal exploration of resilience, reflection, and quiet hope. The show features new original works — including the soulful barn owl portrait Intuition — and will be on display at Spotlight Gallery throughout the month of May.

In the wake of disruption, artist Casi Fordham turns inward to explore hope, steadiness, and meaning through her latest watercolor collection, Internal Optimism. This work reflects both personal reflection and the resilience of the River Arts District community following last year’s flood. With luminous detail and quiet strength, Casi’s art invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with a deeper sense of possibility.

🎉 Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 10 from 4–6 PM to meet the artist, view the work in person, and enjoy light refreshments.

🖼️ Original paintings, prints, and cards will be available for purchase throughout the month.

Bonus: The RAD Renaissance Festival will also be happening in the River Arts District on May 10, so come early to enjoy open studios, live music, and the creative vibe of the neighborhood.
