A solo exhibition by Donna Haynes

Pathways to Light is a deeply personal and communal exploration of how art can illuminate the path through grief. This exhibition invites viewers into an intimate process where personal mementos are transformed into meaningful creations that honor loved ones and foster healing. Through these works, Haynes captures universal experiences of love, loss, and remembrance—offering connection, reflection, and hope. Each piece becomes a vessel for memory and a step toward healing, encouraging us all to consider how creativity can help us carry what we’ve lost and celebrate what remains.
