Art File Feature: Patricia Zinsmeister Parker 🎨✨🖌️
For more than four decades, Patricia Zinsmeister Parker has created work that bridges intuition, gesture, and imagination. Her paintings and prints are best described as narrative abstract expressionism—dynamic compositions where pigment, collage, symbols, and color evolve through a process of exploration and discovery. 🌈✨
Parker holds B.F.A., M.A., and M.F.A. degrees and taught for 23 years as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Akron 🎓. Her work is included in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, and she was inducted into the Ohio Hall of Fame by the Ohio State Senate in recognition of her artistic contributions and achievements. 🏛️✨

Work by Nichole Gronvold Roller - "Drifting". Currently on view - The solo exhibition of Nichole Gronvold Roller: “Days Folded” in the Project Room, and the solo exhibition of Julian Pozzi: “Hole in Mouth” in the Main Gallery. Reception is on Thursday, May 28, from 5 - 8 pm. Exhibitions are on view from May 26 - June 20, 2026. All works are available for sale on Artsy .

From the Press Release - “Days Folded is a recent series of paintings by Nichole Gronvold Roller that responds to the discord between the beauty and tedium of daily routines. Moving through familiar spaces, the artist selects snippets of layered observations. Depicting shifting light, patterned wallpaper, and how textiles soften a room’s hard edges, Gronvold Roller reflects on the complexities of one’s impressions of lived-in spaces. Mindful of how the body navigates the constrictions and expansions of a home, the bending and folding of planes guide through these implied physical movements, just as memory condenses and unfolds our sense of home. Blending geometric abstraction with organic motifs, these works reference the Pattern and Decoration movement.

From the Press Release - “Julian Pozzi’s most recent work takes as its basis a practice of drawing into painting. His latest exhibition works within a framework of a structural abstraction built from a drawing and mark-making vocabulary developed over two decades. The 15 paintings in “Hole in Mouth” allude to a space occupied both by the body and its discontents. Many of the works depict a fragility verging on collapse, or else show what seems to be the moments after disaster. The mark-making can vary and travel widely; what might begin as an incremental and patient cross-hatching can quickly lose its way and end up at the other end of the painting, fully submerged in and/or transformed by surprising pools of rich color, frankly formal and celebrating themselves.”

Art File Feature: Chris Weller 🖤🏙️✏️
New York City-based artist Chris Weller creates hyperrealistic charcoal drawings and paintings that explore the fragile relationship between the urban world and nature 🌿🏚️. Drawn to the unexpected beauty of decay, her work captures the slow disintegration and reclamation constantly unfolding within the cityscape.
Working primarily in charcoal, Weller uses the medium’s smoky, sooty quality to evoke corrosion, erosion, and the fading edges of urban life 🌫️. Her detailed drawings balance opposing forces—beauty and ugliness, despair and hope—while questioning where we belong within the environments we build.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Weller earned her BFA from Western Michigan University 🎓. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at the Brooklyn Museum, where her painting Note on the GW was recently featured 🏛️✨.
