ULTRAVIOLET, A Life of Purpose. Retrospective exhibition. Olin Hall Galleries, Roanoke College, Salem, VA.

a retrospective exhibition spanning more than three decades of Simone Paterson's artistic practice. Presented alongside new work exploring light, energy, and perception, the exhibition traces the evolution of her practice from photographic self-portraits and landscapes to contemporary textile works incorporating machine embroidery, felt, and mixed media.

Across these diverse bodies of work, Paterson explores the relationship between technology, spirituality, and the human experience. Through color, light, and material, the exhibition reflects an enduring commitment to art as a catalyst for reflection, connection, and transformation.
