Solo Exhibit: Marie Rauso’s “The Alchemy of Gilded Perspectives”
The Delaware Valley Opera Center’s Arts Nest proudly presents The Alchemy of Gilded Perspectives, a solo exhibition featuring the radiant work of local artist Marie Rauso. Curated by Jodi Sibilia, the exhibit will be on view from June 1st through September 28th, 2025, with an opening reception on Saturday, June 28th from 1–3 PM. All are welcome to attend.
Through a stunning interplay of light, texture, and emotion, Rauso’s work transforms raw materials—such as crystals, glass, and layered surfaces—into luminous pieces that evoke both inner stillness and sensory delight. Her intuitive creative process results in artwork that is deeply personal yet universally resonant.
This collection explores the quiet power of reflection, the movement of emotion, and the grounding beauty found in everyday textures. With an emphasis on tactile richness and spiritual energy, Rauso’s art offers a space for healing, contemplation, and wonder.
“There’s an aliveness in Marie’s work that’s hard to put into words—it’s felt more than seen. Each piece feels like a quiet conversation between light, movement, and emotion. I’m thrilled to help bring this debut solo show to life and introduce her powerful voice to a wider audience.” —Jodi Sibilia, Curator
Please join us in celebrating Marie Rauso’s debut solo exhibition and the unique energy she brings to the regional art scene.
