Thomas uses various mediums (acrylic, pencil, watercolor) to celebrate her multi-cultural upbringing and to explore themes of personal identity and memory. She says that her latest exhibit is about “expressing the experience of being a minority in the United States and making an invisible experience visible.”

A teacher of sculpture, computer graphics and drawing, Thomas has worked at Hazelwood Central for the past three years. Her exhibit will run through February 27, 2010, and she also has a larger portfolio on her website.

Gallery Admin is a cozy exhibit space located on the second floor of the Administration building at Flo Valley. Admission is free. Monday-Thursday 9am-6pm and Friday 9am-4pm. (314) 513-4861.
