A month-long exhibit in black-and-white abstract style by artist Rachel Dora-Ann of Berwyn will open Saturday, Dec. 6.

She has titled the exhibit “Through the Eyes,” showcasing her “Double Negative” series. An opening day reception will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Black Box Diamond gallery, 1756 W. Algonquin Road, Hoffman Estates.

Through her exhibit, Dora-Ann, a legally blind artist, said she hopes to reach out and show the world how those with impaired sight see and create visual art.

She explained the “Double Negative” series embraces the light and dark contrast the artist sees and how beautiful her figures can still be in her eyes.

“The solo show is a big stepping stone I believe for me and others who are blind or visually impaired to be noticed as artists,” said Dora-Ann, who will create a painting of a live model at the reception.

Available for purchase, her works will remain on display for the month of December. For more information, call the gallery at (847) 705-5006. For more on the artist, visit www.myspace.com/artbyracheldoraann.
