Honoring Our Landscape
This group exhibition explores the artistic interpretation of our lands by nationally renowned painters, photographers, and sculptors. This includes work by Laura McPhee, who’s large format, film photography captures the beauty of nature, while posing interesting cross sections of human traces left behind. Victoria Adams’ carefully rendered oils recall the majesty and unadulterated landscapes of the Hudson River School. James Cook’s thickly painted oils are an epic and expressive vision of The Sawtooths and surrounding mountain ranges, rushing rivers, and babbling brooks of the American West. Michael Gregory’s iconic paintings of barns and homesteads reflect on the beauty of isolation found in the Western American Landscape. Additional artists featured in the show include Theodore Waddell, Sheila Gardner, Divit Cardoza, Berkeley Hoerr, and Victoria Adams, among others.
Color
This exhibition is composed of paintings, works on paper, and sculpture characterized by an emphasis on color. Artists like Raphaëlle Goethals and Rana Rochat use encaustic, or pigmented wax, in different ways to create deeply saturated abstract works of art. Marcia Myers utilizes natural pigments and broad color fields to capture the essence of Italian Fresco in a modern fashion. Tom Hammick demonstrates the British Colorist Tradition, with vibrant hues that govern the work. Gary Komarin, a master of Post-Painterly Abstraction, has been at the forefront of contemporary art with a bold, expressionistic style. The exhibition will additionally feature work by Cole Morgan, Pegan Brooke, Therman Statom, Mark Cooper, Allison Stewart, Linda Christensen, among others.

A solo exhibition featuring new paintings by Robert McCauley, inspired by his Native American artifact collection. Over the last 35 years, McCauley has expertly honed his depictions of Western wildlife, such as salmon, trout, bears, deer, and moose. Though his style is rooted in the tradition of 19th-century American Romanticism, his narratives are contemporary, timely, and relevant.
