"People Pleaser" is a transformative solo exhibition of new multi-disciplinary artworks by artist Kelcie McQuaid. This exhibition is an exploration of the intricacies of identity, empathy and the desire to be accepted, delving deep into complexities of human emotions and interpersonal connections. Through a diverse range of artistic expressions and technologies, McQuaid seeks to captivate the audience, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences, vulnerabilities, and a universal yearning for self acceptance. The central theme of "People Pleaser" revolves around empathy and the human inclination to seek approval and validation from others. In a world where social media, societal norms, and peer pressure dominate, the desire to be accepted can lead to internal conflicts and compromise of one's authentic self. Kelcie McQuaid aims to shed light on emotional struggles faced by those who often prioritize pleasing others over their own well-being. The exhibition will include painting, sculpture, writing, photography, mixed media, interactive installations and NFT's. Each collection uniquely delves into different aspects of people pleasing as a trauma response, creating an emotive and immersive experience for visitors.
Kelcie painted 105 portraits of local community members. This Exhibition CLOSING PARTY is a public event in celebration of our local art and music community.
