Petals of Being, a solo exhibition by Resident Artist Christiane David, opens this month. This vibrant collection features her signature impressionistic florals alongside select landscapes and figurative works, capturing the emotional essence of a moment through color, movement, and gesture.

Continuing in the main gallery, Presence explores the human figure across a range of styles—from traditional portraiture to abstract interpretations—reflecting on identity, emotion, and connection through the work of guest artists Cheryl Elmo, David Timothy, Jason Ward, Jeanine Pennell, Rebecca Carpenter, Sandra Sedmak Engel, and emerging artist Ceanna Davis.

In the U-Gallery, Angela Lapioli, Jon Bond, Marilyn Fox, and Steffany Minotti present work that examines the relationship between inner life and the environments that shape it. Through a mix of abstraction, landscape, and figurative work, the exhibition creates a thoughtful dialogue around memory, observation, and personal narrative.

This spring, our workshops offer a wide range of opportunities to explore new techniques and deepen your practice. From plein air landscape painting and figure studies to vibrant, experimental processes like alcohol inks and acrylic pouring, there’s something for every creative interest.
