Light Play: Genevieve Boyle
Genevieve Boyle knows how to present familiar subjects in fresh ways and lesser-known places in an eye-catching, inviting manner.
Loops and Swirls: Nate Fors
Where the diurnal aspect of Nate Fors’ “Lllooppi” is whimsical, almost like a Dr. Seuss creation brought to three-dimensional life, the sculpture by night is far more energetic … but no less playful.
Conspicuous Consumption: Ryan Waggoner
Ryan Waggoner’s “An Appetite for Energy” is more than a show of attractively composed images; it’s an indictment of Americans’ energy-consumption habits.

A Wide Welcome: Dennis Reynolds
Dennis Reynolds’ “Porch Lights” is a universal greeting, then, one which can resonate for anyone arriving home at the end of a long day.

The Power of Just Because: R. Gregory Summers
Whether depicting “forgotten” structures or such iconic images as Union Station, Loose Park and the Scout sculpture, R. Gregory Summers displays a firm sense of light and shadow, structure and nature, place and time (the last of which can be challenging when creating a work over an extended period).
‘Round Sundown: Shari Hartbauer
Shari Hartbauer’s show expertly captures both the brilliant and muted elements of a Flint Hills sundown.
Seasoned with Subtlety: Rebecca Pashia
There’s a glow — sometimes warm, sometimes cool, always in balance with the other visual elements —emanating from each of Rebecca Pashia’s canvases.
“Cute, and …,” Not “Cute, but …”: Carson Catlin
There’s a definite “Awwww…” factor at work in Carson Catlin’s tiny figurines. But there is a good deal more going on here, too, in the augmentations and reductions by which Catlin customizes each of the little sculptures.
