Second Nature: Art Show Opening Reception By Maggie Yeo

When Darkness Becomes Art, and Art Becomes Light Join us for the opening reception of SECOND NATURE—a powerful exhibition that transforms mental health struggle into visual beauty. Artist Maggie Yeo invites you into her intimate journey through darkness toward light, where ceramics and drawing became lifelines, guiding her back to herself and illuminating the joy and strength within. ✨ About the Exhibition Through mixed-media works and collages, Maggie traces a path of rebirth—showing how struggle gives rise to growth, how creativity sparks resilience, and how inner light can emerge fully awakened. Each piece represents a small dot of light in the tunnel, together illuminating a complete journey of transformation and hope. 🌟 Opening Reception Friday, November 14, 2025 | 6:00 PMPainted Brain Community Center, 3350 W 1st St, Los Angeles, CA 90004 Enjoy an evening [hidden] powerful mixed-media artworkMeeting the artistComplimentary appetizers and drinksConnecting with LA's mental health and arts community About Second Nature from Maggie Yeo Second Nature is a reflection of my healing journey — from deep darkness to rediscovering light through art. Each ceramic piece, drawing, and collage was born from moments when I was trying to find my way back to myself. What began as small acts of survival became expressions of hope and transformation. This exhibition is not just about art — it’s about how creativity can mend, awaken, and reconnect us to the most alive parts of who we are.Like a cocoon becoming a butterfly, it’s a reminder that even from our deepest struggles, something beautiful can grow — and that light, once found, becomes our second nature.
