Upcoming Exhibitions

Judy Kirpich | Emotional Constructs
Fine art quilts
October 5–27

Anxiety #11 by Judy Kirpich

Piecing together a puzzle, Kirpich uses improvisational quilting to construct a visual representation of the emotions and experiences prevalent in her life. Her quilts utilize gestural shapes, precise placement, and decisive color to process the subject matter that inspired this series.

Carol Leadbetter | An Impending Silence: Vanishing African Wildlife
Wildlife photography
October 5–27

Rhino with Oxpecker by Carol Leadbetter

Leadbetter, moved by the wildlife that she encountered during her travels to East and South Africa, dedicates this exhibition to some of the most majestic and at-risk animal species of the world. Her chosen methods for image processing and printing works further emphasize the delicate nature of the subject matter, prompting the viewer to confront morality and humanity.

Michael Douglas Jones | Our Ancient Pages
Mixed-media assemblage

Monocracy by Michael Douglas Jones

Jones uses carefully selected objects and materials to assemble visual memoirs that attract the viewer’s attention, and then draw them inwards. A veteran, Jones refers to his narrative writings and training in the U.S. Air Force when creating these metaphorical pages of positive memories and values, and the lessons and loves that we hold dear. Read a short piece written by the artist for the exhibition.

Mary Sciré | Bits and Pieces
Mixed-media paintings
November 2–December 29

Caged by Mary Sciré

Jessica Damen | Visions, Verses, and Voices
Oil paintings and audio installation

Demise of Benny the Brave by Jessica Damen

An interpretation of the poems that inspired them, Damen’s large-format paintings utilize imagery, scale, and recorded prose for a unique audio and visual experience. The recordings’ use of tempo, cadence, and rhythm is projected throughout the exhibition to guide this expressive coupling.
