This exhibition at the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum “borrows” those items. In actuality, Rayner has crafted every piece on display as well as the concept of the Museum of Mesmerism, the illusion of rare paranormal objects, and an exotic archive. Beverly Rayner has a B.F.A. in sculpture and an M.F.A. in photography and teaches both photography and mixed media art. Rayner learned the art of resurrecting forlorn objects from her father and inherited a photographic eye from her mother. Rayner is represented by Braunstein/Quay Gallery in San Francisco and G. Gibson Gallery in Seattle. She has been in a multitude of solo and group exhibitions at galleries and museums in Liza Ryan, Seer, 2011. Color photograph.
