This exhibition examines self-healing and restoration\, capturing subjects with closed eyes to symbolize the moment they disengage from the outside world and focus on their “internal map”—the geometric architecture of the soul. Drawing on Pablo Picasso inspired energy\, Lydia Peters presents personal growth as a literal structural shift\, where color becomes personality and each hue reflects a distinct emotional frequency\, from the vital greens of growth to the royal golds of transcendence. A contemporary fine artist\, Peters uses the human form to document the structural evolution of the human spirit\, offering a visual language for self-restoration and internal alignment that reveals the beauty and complexity of looking within.   URL:https://police.pgparks.com/event_list/lydia-peters-the-inward-canvas CATEGORIES:All Ages,Arts,Exhibition,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://police.pgparks.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/HHAC-Lydia-Peters-2026-600x400-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
