Andrée M. Mahoney’s exhibition, “Spirit Voyager,” opens Friday, February 17, at Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, 200 W. First St.

An opening reception takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, February 18. The show will remain on view through April 23.

The show is curated by the artist’s daughter Monica Lynne Mahoney. It celebrates Mahoney’s 70th year of “exploring of the richness of life through mixed-media painting and ceramic sculpture,” according to a CLMA news release. “A visual storyteller, Mahoney seeks to strike a balance between color and form, intuition and meaning. The exhibition weaves together her journey of inquiry, and the visionary impulse to manifest life’s sensuality in built form throughout the arc of her life.”
