Jen Perena, Jay Perena and Nazia Parvez, have lived and traveled throughout the continent, cohabitating in Sierra Leone for a year before spinning in different directions to North, South and East Africa. With this exhibit, they share watercolor paintings, mixed media collages and photography, inspired by their experiences and memories.

About Jay Perena:
Jay spent roughly half his life in West Africa, with significant periods in Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Constantly surrounded by a sensory overload of colors, textures, environments, smells, tastes, music and art, Jay developed his unique style of painting images which fuse his love of nature and animals, reality with fantasy, light with shadow. His love of the ocean and the thousand shades of green serve to inspire his reverence for the simplistic approach to habitat and artistic expression. Jay is originally from the Philippines and now resides in Rochester, NY.
