Sabrina McCranels is an artist from Lake Worth Beach and a recent graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a BFA in Studio Arts. Working primarily in oil paint on unconventional surfaces, her practice explores the emotional complexities of both interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Through themes of permanence and impermanence, manipulation and transparency, her work bridges the physical and metaphysical—serving as a meditation on the unseen forces that shape human connection and inviting viewers into moments of reflection, intimacy, and reconnection.
Bohdi + Sky are brothers (ages 7 and 9) from South Florida who create art to explore the world around them and express how they feel. Working side by side, they turn their ideas, moods, and imaginations into vibrant abstract pieces that reflect curiosity, play, and discovery. Inspired by nature, space, color, and everyday moments—from stones and galaxies to music and movies—their work celebrates freedom, movement, and trusting the creative process. Through sharing their art with the community, Bodhi and Sky have discovered how creativity can spark connection and invite everyone to find their own meaning in the work.
“Cornell Art Museum’s Art on the Square fine art show welcomes regional artists as well as national artists who travel south to our beautiful historic arts campus in the heart of downtown Delray Beach. Our goal is to bring the community together and visitors to Downtown Delray Beach by offering many diverse art talents in one location, including our regional non-profit art groups, engaging and discussing their work with curious art collectors”.
-Marusca Gatto, Cultural Arts Director of Old School Square
