Bones, Not Bare: Andrew Burkitt
There’s a lot going on not only within Andrew Burkitt’s prints themselves, but in the number of potential responses by and resonances for each person who sees them.
Jewelesque: Mariana Abadie
Mariana Abadie’s paintings — whether abstract or representational — are both stimulating and serene, with a lovely mix of cool blues and earth tones beneath the shine.
Crystal Clarity: Noelle Ireland
Noelle Ireland, reinterpreting her mother’s antique crystal collection through photography, reflects an affection for her subject that goes well beyond the visual.
The Colors and Textures of Joy: Jason Wood

Soft, Colorful, Personal: Maddie Kamphaus
Maddie Kamphaus’ fiber art is soft, colorful and intensely personal, with moments from her life woven into each piece.
Nature Preserver: Brigid Greene
Brigid Greene’s art makes use of leaves and other parts of plants … not so much as raw material to be processed into something else, but as visual elements to be arranged in a way that highlights their underlying structures, lines, curves and textures.
Time Compression: Dana Hangauer
Dana Hangauer’s use of color and texture are strong throughout her first solo show. The hues are bright when they need to be and muted when they need to be, suggesting the passage of time and the effects of weathering on “older” layers.

Beth Cosner loads her jewelry with so much color, texture and creative structure that it grabs the attention (in a good way) from the first look, and then rewards repeated viewings.

Elemental Energy: Mauricio Zuniga
Mauricio Zuniga stirs, shakes and blends the imagery in his paintings, creating a visual cocktail infused with color and movement.
“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.
Cropping Nature: Ron Stewart
Ron Stewart’s work focuses on the naturally occuring patterns and textures found all around us.
When “Out of Context” is a Good Thing: Richard Lotman Brown
Richard Lotman Brown sees patterns, textures and images most miss, and has a gift for capturing and presenting them.
Living in the Moments: Gregory Thomas
Gregory Thomas’ paintings capture his impressions of place and time — not a series of frozen moments, however, but a collection of small stories which unfold over the time Thomas takes to record them.
Fixer-Uppers: Jim Hesse
Jim Hesse’s works in “Reparation” fully inhabit three dimensions, with recesses, overlays and other augmentations and reductions — and the gleams of light coming off all those shiny new metal surfaces — making viewings from multiple angles a must.
