PURRSONALITIES

An Augmented Reality Art Experience 

Artist Collaborations and Exhibition Curated by Shylo Silvenar

May 2-June 29 2025, Studio G

PURRSONALITIES is a collaborative art project culminating in a public exhibition at the Artists' Attic, in beautiful downtown Lexington, Kentucky. 

This project unites traditional and digital artists to celebrate the unique personalities of shelter cats through augmented reality. 

Our mission is to create meaningful connections between art, technology, and animal advocacy, fostering awareness about pet adoption and supporting local shelters during their peak season. 

By blending creativity, storytelling, and innovation, we aim to inspire community engagement, generate donations, and encourage cat adoptions—all while providing a platform for artists to grow, collaborate, and explore new mediums.

Yolanda Kennison

July4-August 29th

Yolanda Kennison is a contemporary painter who enjoys creating abstracts, landscapes and florals in an expressionistic style. Inspired by nature, music and her imagination she often combines soft, gentle colors with strong, vibrant hues to create a mood, revive a memory, and promote hope, healing and joy. Yolanda’s paintings are located in private collections throughout the United States and in numerous healthcare facilities in central Kentucky.

Susan Smith-Sargent is a 2-D artist currently working in two main mediums: silk painting (painting with French dyes on Haboti silk) and water-based mixed media. Her inspiration for making art comes from nature and includes a felt sense of what she sees and experiences. Silk painting, in particular, has a unique way of capturing the essence and luminosity that exist in the natural world.

Come see these uniquely artistic expressions! Celebrate their art during the LexArts Hop on July 18th, 5:00-8:00. Cash bar and hors d’ oeuvres are served.
