Living Layers: Living, Layered, and Restorative” is a solo exhibition by visual artist and landscape designer Stephanie Onwenu featuring mixed media works, acrylic paintings, and digital artworks that explore expression, identity, memory, and imaginative futures. Rooted in layered storytelling and visual dialogue, the exhibition reflects on how personal and collective experiences are carried, transformed, and reimagined across seen and unseen worlds.
Through layered textures, materials, and visual narratives, the works create an immersive atmosphere within a civic, everyday environment. The exhibition invites visitors to pause, reflect, and engage, while considering the restorative potential of creative expression within communal space.
The work can be viewed and located in the wing closest to Council Chambers at City Hall. This body of work is apart of the City of Farmington Hills Public Art Program which brings art into our daily lives, generates conversation and inspires guests to be creative and enroll in the many art classes and Makerspace workshops offered at The Hawk Community Center.
