Artist Spotlight: Saundra Fleming is a comic surrealist whose work examines the absurd and the impossible. A member artist for the past 9 years, Saundra “paint[s] about the animating consciousness that is in the nature of all things. What makes a frog a frog, a flower a flower? The reality is not just in the way a thing looks. All that is essential is invisible to the eye.”
