About the Artist

Rejina (Reji) Thomas is a visionary, trendsetter and true accolade of Texas history and the arts. She is best known for her monumental glass work, architectural embellishments and paintings on canvas.
A graduate of the prestigious International Pilchuck School of Glass based in Seattle, Washington, Thomas’ artwork is held in private and public collections around the world.
Thomas’ artwork moves from cubistic surrealism to abstract expressionism. The themes embodied in her artwork act as a metaphorical looking glass from which viewers experience and understand the world.

Visual Art & Vino | Collaborative Project

Join us for Visual Art & Vino and create your own puzzle piece.

Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project

“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle (of life).” - Deepak Chopra

ABOUT THE PUZZLE PROJECT

Our goal is to help grow this collaborative project with individual meaningful jigsaw stories. The Puzzle Project consists of more than 10,000 puzzle pieces from around the world. Eventually your pieces will be assembled together into a massive jigsaw puzzle art installation to be debuted in New York City.

The spirit of the Puzzle Project is to return your pieces (after ACAC displays them), so that we become part of a global effort to inspire artists to work together as they express themselves and tell their story through art.

WHAT THE PUZZLE PROJECT OFFERS

+ Multi-level creative experience
+ Express yourself in a meaningful way
+ Collaborate with others and enjoy a shared experience
+ Be a part of a global project - do something BIG

NOTES
+ Wear "art friendly clothing," - you might get dirty!
+ BYOB

The Puzzle Art Installation & Collaborative Project is Coordinated by Tim Kelly. For more information visit: artisgoodforyou.com
