In 2024, Four Winds Casino aimed to try something new by showcasing works created by local artists at their two locations in New Buffalo and South Bend, IN.
While searching for local artists, Sherrod Williams, who was curating the project, repeatedly heard the name Kamika Perry. Eager and thankful for another chance to display her talents, Kamika promptly selected the largest canvases she had ever worked on for the project.
"I've always admired canvases larger than 30in x 30in, but they've intimidated me," Perry comments. "However, I visited my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby, and managed to fit a 48in x 48in canvas into my SUV,"
The showcase was successful, leading to increased recognition for her as an artist and amplifying her inner belief that she can be an artist, overshadowing the voices that say she can't.
"You truly don't know what you're incapable of doing. You only have things you refuse to do. Many things we believe are impossible for us are, in fact, very closely within our reach. - Kamika Perry
