The Elusive Muse: New Work by Kelley Mogilka
Jan. 7 – Feb. 3, 2023
Kelley Mogilka’s figurative paintings and drawings center on capturing the elusive muse, a creative force that flows from brush to canvas. By working from a model, she looks for this inspiration in the subtle gestures, glances, or poses, which often evoke a presence that is both timeless and ephemeral. Her use of harmonious color and expressive brushwork ultimately reflects an interest in capturing the sitter’s internal state of being.
Tiny Show
Jan. 6 – Feb. 26, 2023
The Tiny Show features “tiny” works of art – modest-sized pieces limited to 5” x 7”. Various local and regional artists were invited to display their small but spectacular creations, including Valentina Arenas, Tamsen Armstrong, Karen Burns, Deziree Dizon, Jim Darke, and Amy Vidra, among many others. While the works themselves may be small, the creativity and artistic talent they reveal is immeasurable.
Myrtle Press Prints: Portfolio x 2
Dec. 9, 2022 – Jan. 29, 2023
Portfolio x 2 marks the first display of Myrtle Press’ invitational print exchanges in our region, including prints made through various processes by respected printmakers. The exhibit brings together a sampling of printmakers’ work from 2020 and a new exchange of printmakers’ work, inspired by the themes of origin and the hidden or unseen.
