A lifelong precedent of amazing work naturally creates high expectations. So did the preliminary glimpses into what would be fully revealed when the curtains went up. And when the time came, the response was – as expected – incredible.

The River Oaks Square Arts Center Artists’ Reception this past Friday evening marked the official opening for three amazing exhibits. One featured VeRetta Garrison-Moller, one of KJA Communication Group’s most active clients.

Since early 2008, VeRetta has partnered with our team on many levels of marketing, promotions, and strategy. As a result, our lives have been enriched by this exceptional individual who can be described as nothing less than “a shaker and a roller”. Together, countless hours have been invested mapping out specific plans and objectives.

Because of that partnership, the KJA crew is completely aware of VeRetta’s creativity, resourcefulness and successes. For many in our community though, her exhibit “Color-Culture-Creativity” provided their first real glimpse of her amazing work.

The entrance of the space immediately set the tone for the exhibit. A richly detailed table covering made from a compilation of VeRetta’s collages lay beneath a stunning floral sculpture (created by her personal friend, Jo Betty Sterkx). At that point, it became obvious this wasn’t just another art opening. Admirers filled the space throughout the evening, exploring the scope of VeRetta’s art and objects.

Her original art stands on full display, featuring recent, richly detailed collages & rubbings. In addition to these works of art, she’s showcasing an array of consumer products developed from her original art. The sheer variety of these products is quite impressive: lavish accent pillows, richly ornamented decorative boxes, limited edition posters, spectacular canvas totes, unique T-shirts, ceramic coasters, and framable, limited-edition Giclee reproductions of the collages themselves.

We congratulate VeRetta on yet another, very successful venture.

We also encourage you to learn more her rich and diverse “previous lives” by digging around in her web site – www.verettaart.com. Download the PDF file under the “Life” tab. You’ll be treated to a heartwarming overview of her story – where victories and trauma interweave seamlessly into a rich garment.
