Joy is not something that can be manufactured; it is grown, nurtured, and radiated. From the Inside Out is an exploration of joy as a deeply personal and spiritual force that begins within and flows outward into the world. Through this collection, Kierra Ready invites viewers to experience joy as a divine gift—one that transcends life’s challenges and flourishes in community, faith, and self-discovery. Featuring vibrant portrayals of women, nature, and abstract elements, this exhibit celebrates the multifaceted nature of joy, both as a personal journey and a shared experience.
Kierra is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is deeply rooted in community and culture. She creates art that sparks conversations, encourages unity, and invites people to experience the beauty of diversity. With a strong passion for storytelling through visual media, Kierra strives to uplift and inspire through every project, connecting people through creativity and shared experiences. Past exhibitions include Phoenix Theatre: Taking Up Space, Indy Black Expo: Art Speaks, Storefront Indy: Fine Chic, and Re:Public: Beautiful Things Grow Here.
