Kathy Moss
Emanate Part II
Creating her own gesso and paint bodies from Renaissance recipes, Kathy Moss depicts botanicals as mysterious archetypes in her work. Keenly aware of the suggestiveness and psychological meaning attached to flowers and plants, her paintings address issues of power, solipsism, and hierarchies. Traditionally working in a monochromatic neutral palette, Moss decisively introduces subtle hints of color in this new body of work. This solo exhibition will feature large-scale oil paintings as well as smaller works on paper.
The Quiet Between
In this captivating exhibition, Michael Gregory, Theodore Waddell, Laura McPhee, Victoria Adams, and James Cook invite viewers to reimagine the rural landscape through a contemporary, abstract lens. Abstract techniques blur the boundaries between the seen and the felt, turning solid barns and towering mountains into ephemeral impressions. These paintings and photographs look beyond the literal, discovering new layers of depth, emotion, and narrative within the familiar rural environment.
Specimens
Through the mediums of bird feathers and the drawn and painted renderings of flora and fauna, Specimens invites reflection on how human actions shape, threaten, and sometimes preserve the ecosystems around us. These specimens serve not just objects; but as stories—of balance, loss, and the urgent need for conservation. Artists Joseph Rossano, Chris Maynard. Maggie Shafran, Kiki Smith, Anne Siems, and Lynda Lowe remind us that the preservation of our world’s beauty is not just a duty, but a necessity.
April/May Exhibitions
The Language of Flowers
The relationship between flowers and humanity is rich and diverse; there is symbolism and emotion tied to flowers in art, culture, and history. From the delicate representation of beauty and fragility to flowers as symbols of love, grief, renewal, and even political resistance. Lynda Lowe, Maggie Shafran, Kenna Moser, Betsy Margolius, Hung Liu, Diane Andrews Hall, Pamela Detuncq, and Michael Gregory all explore themes of life, love, and longing through their imagery of flowers.
Group Show
The May exhibition will feature a selection of the gallery’s internationally acclaimed and emerging artists with a focus on the representation and interpretation of our natural landscapes. The exhibition will include large format photography by Laura McPhee and Laura Wilson; oils on canvas by James Cook and Theodore Waddell and Victoria Adams; abstract paintings by Anne Siems and Rana Rochat; tapestries by April Gornik and Don and Era Farnsworth, and sculpture by Jane Rosen and Gwynn Murrill.
