Jill Eggers is an associate professor in the Department of Art and Design at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. Three of her paintings will be in the exhibit, and she says this about her work:

I have been working with exploring realms of consciousness that
access ideas of God or spirituality through silence and meditation.
A 30+ years meditation practice has led in the spiritual life to
recognition of common truths and validity to all spiritual practices/
religions and belief systems.  A 30 year artistic practice has led
from representational work to more abstract modes of working that
explore consciousness as subject matter and attempt to enter the
’spaces between’ linear thought and ‘objective’ reality.
