This month, we are pleased to present Managing The Darkness, a two person exhibition featuring artists Hilary Gent and Edward Raffel. 

Gent translates her personal connection to the meditative nature and dimensionality of water, particularly Lake Erie, through layers of poured latex paint. Her recent paintings capture intense reflections of light on water—often vivid colors reflected during sunrise or sunset—representing “glimmers of hope amidst life’s storms” and light interrupting darkness with its power.

In spite of the world’s perceived chaos and the weight of darkness, we invite you to confront the shadows of the current era with radiant light, painted and reflected.

Preview Reception: Wednesday, June 17, 5:00-7:00pm

Opening Reception: Friday, June 19, 5:00-8:00pm.

As I reflect on the Gallery’s 17th year in business, I am continually amazed at the support we receive from our community. This past year as a small business owner certainly presented many challenges, and my heartfelt gratitude goes out to the organizations and new clients who chose to invest in local art for their residential and corporate projects.

Your support is deeply appreciated and remains vital to our creative community!

Come celebrate with us TONIGHT during our opening of “Things That Ache Softly” featuring the extraordinary Katy Richards, Madison Mayle and Maeve Billings, 5:00- 8:00pm!

Join us this week for the Preview or Opening Reception for Things That Ache Softly! The artists in the exhibition take inspiration from the natural world, using imagery of botanical forms, landscape and animal flesh.

Mayle’s paintings are informed by her upbringing in Appalachia and use reimagined botanical forms that function as a rhythm and atmosphere rather than depicting specific places. Madison states, “The work communicates a sense of quietude and inherited intimacy, where the landscape is not something observed from afar, but something that holds, shapes, and embodies the viewer.”

Preview Reception: Wednesday, April 15, from 5:00-7:00pm

Opening Reception: Friday, April 17, from 5:00-8:00pm
