Contained: The Art of Stillness
THE ARTERY. With a spiritual leaning that bridges Eastern and Western philosophy, each piece in this exhibition contains heart and soul. Art reflects life…a return to decades long practices of meditation, silence and contemplation are reflected in this collection. Between 3D sculptures and framed pieces, it is Louise’s desire that the viewer remember a bit of peace and stillness as they stop into the gallery in the new year.

Bussie Parker Kehoe: A Curious Garden
PENCE GALLERY. The artist painstakingly pours discarded household paint into stacks of colorful circles, celebrating found materials in unusual ways. Kehoe views her work as reminiscent of the patterned Korean textiles from her youth, creating a lively ‘quilt’ full of texture and movement that seems to escape from its base.
