Stanek Gallery is proud to present Readymade Sunshine, an exhibition celebrating color, creativity, and the joyful labor of making. Artists Carson Fox and Isabella Del Signore (a.k.a. Bella Lucy) explore what it means to build worlds that radiate optimism, humor, and wonder, even in the face of chaos. Both artists bring their own brand of creative energy to transform meticulous processes into playgrounds for imagination, creating work that shares a devotion to joy, craft, and the art of keeping things interesting. In this show, each piece feels like a ray of sunshine made tangible, a chance to take home a fragment of pure joy, as if happiness itself could be bottled, commodified, and shared in art form.
Fox and Del Signore transform the gallery into a vibrant playground of color, curiosity, and controlled chaos. Their immersive, large-scale installations invite viewers to experience joy as an active, intentional force. Readymade Sunshine is a reminder that art does not have to be so serious to be serious. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is just enjoy the view, or better yet, take a little sunshine home with you.
Carson Fox
New York–based artist Carson Fox is known for transforming meticulous processes into immersive visual experiences that emphasize craftsmanship, color, and spatial engagement. Best recognized for her site-specific commissions, Fox creates resin wall installations that are fully customizable and designed to respond to their architectural environments.
Her work appears in a wide range of public and private settings, including schools, offices, hospitals, transportation hubs, libraries, and private residences. Fox is deeply invested in the role of art within everyday spaces, particularly in how permanent installations influence perception and bring sustained visual interest to daily life.
A notable example of her public work is Blue Ombre (below), a large-scale installation spanning a 14-foot by 15-foot arch inside Temple University’s Charles Library. Created as part of the library’s renovation, the piece reimagines the architectural threshold through an expansive field of color. Completed in July 2020, Blue Ombre consists of approximately 8,400 individually crafted blue resin flowers that fully occupy the archway.
Floral imagery is central to Fox’s practice. She is drawn to the emotional resonance generated by dense, chromatic compositions, while also engaging with the symbolic associations of flowers, including grief, loss, hope, love, and renewal. Fox began expanding her use of floral forms following the passing of her parents in 2000, initially as a means of processing grief and later as a source of emotional restoration. This perspective informed Blue Ombre, which Fox has described as a tribute to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to her large-scale installations, Fox’s studio-based works offer a more intimate expression of her practice. These pieces reflect the same attention to material, color, and form, allowing viewers to engage with her work on a personal scale.

Isabella Del Signore
Isabella Del Signore, also known as Bella Lucy, creates vibrant, surreal paintings that blend illustrative detail with expressive color and stylized text. Her work explores themes of spontaneity, human connection, and existential reflection through imaginative characters and dreamlike landscapes. Influenced by travel and nature, she incorporates meticulous detail and fluid compositions that balance chaos and harmony. Del Signore earned her BFA from Pennsylvania State University and studied at Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy. She has completed mural commissions in Costa Rica, Philadelphia, and State College, integrating large-scale public works into her practice. Del Signore has exhibited at Stanek Gallery, Zoller Gallery, and Bellefonte Art Museum, among others, and continues to expand her visual storytelling through painting and installation.
