Transitions by SOBRA Collective Juried Group Exhibit Coral Springs Museum of Art 2855 Coral Springs Drive, Coral Springs, FL 33065 Exhibit Dates: October 17, 2025 to January 4, 2026
“Change is the only constant, yet its presence often slips by unnoticed. Other times, it leaves lasting impressions that shape identities and lives. The exhibition Transitions, on view from October 17, 2025, through January 3, 2026, at the Coral Springs Museum of Art, explores this enduring human condition through the work of the contemporary artists of SOBRA Collective. Transitions features a collection of more than 30 works that reflect on moments of profound personal and collective change. Using an array of materials and processes, the artists present deeply personal interpretations of transitions that range from physical displacement to spiritual passage, from shifting identities to evolving states of mind. Among the featured works, Rev Emigrasyon Mwen (My Immigration Dream) by Sophia Lacroix offers a deeply personal meditation on the immigrant experience. Through her signature blend of hyperrealism and symbolic narrative, Lacroix captures the emotional duality of leaving one’s homeland while carrying its essence within. The painting portrays a Haitian woman poised between two worlds—her gaze turned toward possibility, her surroundings infused with memories of home. The rich textures and luminous tones evoke both nostalgia and resilience, mirroring the complex journey of migration. In this piece, Lacroix transforms personal history into a universal reflection on belonging, identity, and the transformative power of hope.

Recent Exhibits
Art has always been a labor of love for me, to which I devoted as much of my spare time away from my various full time jobs. That is, until I finally became a mother for the first time in 2009, at the age of forty. Being a Mom to my precious Little Princess, my greatest Master Piece, is a priviledge and far more demanding than I ever expected. As my Princess is growing and becoming more independent, while I still devote much of my spare time from mu demanding full-time job to her and her Daddy, I now paint and create new original paintings regularly. Below you will find information about such current shows.
