Regina DeVal
“Cloud Cover-Under God’s Grand Sky”
On view: November 5 – December 26, 2026 | 1st floor, Gallery Lounge
Regina DeVal, a Suffolk, Virginia–based artist learning to stand fully in the calling God placed in her hands. Her art — through both painting and photography — celebrates the fullness of life: African American culture and community, quiet life on the water, and the warmth of family. As an emerging artist, her work is faith‑inspired and exploratory. She moves between impressionism, expressionism, abstraction, and symbolic realism as she searches for her own voice. Her intention is for her canvases to tell stories that are encouraging, humorous, thought‑provoking, and sometimes a little provocative.
