On this episode of The Spark, we spoke with Harrisburg abstract expressionist Reina 76 Artist about her exhibition, Pennsylvania Leaders of Color in America 250, now on display at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence.

The conversation explored the inspiration behind the collection, how historical figures were selected, and the role the exhibit plays in Pennsylvania’s America250 commemoration. Reina also shared her artistic approach and the message she hopes visitors take away as they experience paintings highlighting influential Pennsylvanians, including Dr. Rebecca J. Cole, Octavius Catto, the Susquehannock Tribe, and others. The exhibition is on display through Aug. 1 and invites visitors to reflect on the people and stories that have helped shape the Commonwealth’s history.
