Meet the Makers: Digging into "Rooted Hues"

The inspo: A visual experience at its core, "Rooted Hues" invites visitors to stop and think about their environment and their role in it.

What they're saying: Here are the three multidisciplinary artists behind the exhibit and how they described their artistic styles to the Indy Arts Council.

Ash Robinson: "My artistic style is vibrant, bold and unapologetic. My portraits explore Black identity, visibility and belonging by transforming familiar materials into powerful statements of self-reflection."

Shamira Wilson: "My practice is rooted in geometric abstraction as a form of inquiry, a way of thinking through color, rhythm and structure."

ess mckee: "My artistic style is bold, colorful and directly influenced by graffiti and hip-hop culture. I've always been drawn to graffiti styles and started my journey just sketching and drawing characters and lettering."

If you go: The exhibit is open to the public through March 16 at Gallery 924.

• The gallery is open 10am to 4pm Tuesday-Thursday and by appointment.
• A First Friday opening reception with all three artists starts at 6pm.
