11/6/2026 Reception for Renee Kuharchuk and "Transcending Insecurities" at Marmion Academy, Dr. Scholl Gallery in Aurora, IL

“Renee Kuharchuk Transcending Insecurities” is on now through November 6, 2026, at Marmion Academy’s Dr. Scholl Gallery located at 1000 Butterfield Road in Aurora Illinois.  

There will be a reception, open to the public, on Friday, November 6, 5 to 8 PM.  If you would like to view the exhibit during school hours, please contact Lisa Dzuricsko via email ldzuricsko@marmion.org to secure an appointment time.

Renee Kuharchuk is a painter and teacher living and working in the Chicagoland area. Her work captures close-up portraiture that experiments with dynamic brushwork and abstract colors. Through painting the human form, she explores themes of feminism and the human experience. As a woman, her practice not only brings these issues to light, but creates a space for self-healing and, on a broader scope, awareness of our inner battles.

Kuharchuk works with the local nonprofit - IHSAE, the Illinois High School Art Exhibition, as the assistant gallery director, whose goal is to amplify student work through exhibitions in Chicago and work to advocate for creativity through art recruitment.

Kuharchuk's work has been recently on display at the Salem Art Gallery in Massachusetts, Ausable Artisan Village in Grayling, Michigan, and Woman Made Gallery in Chicago.

Please contact Lisa Dzuricsko via email ldzuricsko@marmion.org if you need more information.

Please note that the gallery is not wheelchair accessible.
