Becoming Whole:
2025 REACH Core Artist Exhibition
December 12, 2025 - January 11, 2026
Opening reception: Friday, December 12, 6-8pm
About Becoming Whole
Becoming Whole is the integration of the self, composed of many parts and instances. Common understandings of “wholeness” may be too simple to describe how dynamic anyone may be, but to become is to “begin to be,” which is ever evolving.
As each day is new, we must begin again. Each day, becoming whole is the work of the artist: in an effort to integrate our multifaceted selves within the generous story of humanity, the artist approaches the threshold to look, enter into, or gaze outward from the vast interior and transpersonal realms of selfhood.
Each progressive approach widens an artist’s awareness, presents new thresholds, and furthers our edges of knowing. We must approach again and again, look with fresh eyes, and trust our beginner self to best recognize and channel the expressions of humanness that come to be our art.
In RedLine’s REACH Open Studio, Core Artists, who are a part of our community resident program, are not only invited to find a creative voice, make art, and join in a community of arts professionals and supporters—they’re invited to participate within the transformative crucible for becoming whole.
Through Resilience, Expression, Access, Community, and Healing, we REACH.
Mariah Ramos - Self Love
Consider each artist’s work in its unique telling of the human story:
Eddy Beard tells us about the sweetness of community and accepting its gifts to rise to a giving fullness.
Kesiena Sebeni shows us the intimate inner world of energy and feeling that accompanies and expands beyond our human form.
Mariah Ramos shows us the unseen network of spiritual kin including each other and our ancestors that help guide and carry us along our paths.
Myra Nagy, Chacalit reminds us that the self in process is enoughness—the wholeness we seek—needing neither manipulation nor judgement.
Barry Lewis lives in the painting, existing freely within creative spirit and reminds us all of the refuge, relief and freedom that is creative practice.
Through ode and symbol, Vanessa Constanti reminds us of feminine courage and abundance.
Matt Maes draws our awareness to the world’s myths and archetypes, showing us our shared human understandings and experiences.
Through autoportraiture, Eckseption (Leeandra Lujan) evokes in us our own capacity to reinvent ourselves and step confidently along the path of our choosing.
Sharon Morrison reaches forward, back and wide to express togetherness of feminine wholeness.
Robin Hill wants us to “Know If, And, Or, But” and take it all without apology.
The artworks by Tiffany Medina reveal the promises of change, interrelationship, and life's challenges as the sources of our resilience.

About the Curator
REACH Art Therapist Rebecca Peebles works as an artist, creative practice facilitator and public and private curator in Denver, CO.
Including mindfulness training, creative analysis and art made as tools for comfort and understanding, her work centers around creativity and art as a method for personhood development and healing for herself and others.
Her artworks and community work serve to assist in our human way-finding to better realize our creative purpose and potential and basically feel okay with being here now.
