About This Show
The Artists' Visions
Art Outside and Special Events

HOME is a collaboration of eleven artists working together to honor the beauty of our planet and celebrate Earth Month. The show features the work of Jillian Barber, Shawndavid Berry, Rachel Brask, Laura White Carpenter, David Chatowsky, Shane Dorey, Mandy Howe, Mary Jameson, Meredith LeBlanc, Manjula Padmanabhan, and Nick Williams.  They are joined by gallery member artists in  paying homage to Mother Gaia.

THINKING GLOBALLY unites these artists; according to Manjula Padmanaban, photographs of the earth beamed from the moon inspired her to think of our planet as “an exquisite shining marble, alone in the star-studded emptiness of space,” and her artworks share that sense of wonder. Or, as Shane Dorey explains, “home is the feeling of exploring natural spaces … looking at all the details and the color shifts in a stone … No matter where I am, when I am exploring natural spaces, I feel at home.”
