“The back of a Rainbow Scarab from Kansas becomes an abstract landscape of color and form. Magnified beyond its familiar scale, the beetle’s iridescent surface reveals a hidden metallic world, a living pattern shaped by evolution and light.”

Come see our current exhibition Elements of Wonder by Jon McCormack through October 1.

We are open Saturdays, 10AM - 4PM, or by appointment, we’d love to have you!

Featured: Rainbow Scarab, 2026

A photograph stops time. It reveals something that actually happened, maybe something we’ve overlooked. It takes us somewhere we’ve never been—or helps us see something familiar in an entirely new way.

Today, we’re celebrating the photographers who continually remind us to look closer, stay curious, and see differently.

At Maven Gallery, we’re honored to represent the work of Xan Padron Reuben Wu Esther Havens Mann Austin Mann Jon McCormack Babak Tafreshi and Steve Wrubel.

Their work takes us across landscapes, cultures, perspective and time — each offering a unique view on the world we share.

This is why we love photography.

Happy World Photography Day. 📷

The exhibition Elements of Wonder is currently on the walls—and seeing these large-scale photographs in person is something else entirely.

Jon McCormack’s (Jon McCormack ) work invites you to slow down, look closer, and notice the extraordinary in the natural world. The scale, detail, and beauty of these photographs are absolutely incredible in the gallery.

We’re so excited to have Elements of Wonder on view at Maven Gallery through October 1.

Come see it for yourself. ✨
