Emergence | artist Dana Bettinger
November 1 - November 30, 2023
Opening reception Thursday, November 2, 5pm - 7pm


from the artist:
"As someone who spends a lot of time in their head, painting is about being fully present in my body and openly attuning to my instincts. My body of work is fairly eclectic, as a result -- it is constantly changing and evolving as I experiment, push forward with existing patterns, try new things, or loop back to gestures and media that continue to interest me over time. My experience as an architect, educator, graphic designer, maker, and consultant all inform my work. As an artist, I am often compelled by the creative tension between the numerous ways in which I've been trained to think and see."

Gradual Shifts | illustrator Lacey McKeever
October 1 - October 31, 2023
Opening reception Thursday, October 5, 5pm - 7pm

from the artist:
"This collection started as a result of a gradual and gravitational shift. With my previous work mainly being digital, I found quick lines, bold colors, and messy mistakes to be the change I needed to keep growing as an illustrator. Throughout my work, I explore the food on our tables, the nature surrounding us, and the objects of everyday life. With a minimal color palette using oil pastels on paper, this collection stands out as the start of something new in my artistic journey."
