Karen Azarnia
and
Regin Igloria

Memorial Day, Monday, May 25th

Cultivator is pleased to present Karen Azarnia's exhibition Take It Slow and Regin Igloria's exhibition Mid-day Meditations for May during Bray Grove Farm's 2026 Spring Farm Day. Influenced by the environment, each artist uses plant life and elements of nature in their art. 

Karen Azarnia is primarily a painter, known for her lush depictions of abstracted flora and luminous figurative oils. Azarnia's paintings for Cultivator are inspired by native plants found on the farm. They will be installed in several sites, inviting viewers to observe and reflect as the surroundings, sunlight, and wind interplay with the art. 

Regin Igloria extends his bookmaking art along with his experience as a long-distance runner to site-specific installations incorporating collaged drawings, digital prints, and constructions of abstract landscapes to capture moments in time. A portion of his Spider Plant Farm and Hospital will be on display as takeaways - an homage to his mom and a reflection of his community-oriented spirit. We look forward to sharing Karen Azarnia
