a room, spark energy into a conversation, and juxtapose artists in almost adventurous ways."

"In her 16th curated
show, Niyego presents
"Dreamy Techniques".
With such a title, one might
feel light petals from
freshly shaken flora as you
lie upon the grass below
a tree on a spring afternoon,
dreaming of no gravity and
liquid skies... But, no, this is
not a show that is all
feathery and light for,
as I mentioned earlier,
Niyego is too much of a tiger
for such easy concepts."

“ Niyego utilizes the talents of her artists to investigate the circumstance, psychology and the blueprint that comprise the performance of love ….
...Indulging our whimsical free spirits into a realm that is both visionary
and contemplative,
My Funny Valentine:
A Tribute to Chet Baker,
is experimental yet well-studied...
..The blending of genres alone forms an exploration into the space where all sorts of threads of life merge into a united fabric of experience and relationships....
...My Funny Valentine takes the viewer's mind on an otherworldly voyage
that plunges the depths of
the subconscious, and the heights of our dreams
of love lost, found, and the space in between."
