Opening Reception, January 7, 6:00-9:00pm

Juror André Lippard  reflects on his selection process for the exposition: “When I was asked to jury this show, The Road Less Traveled, I was focused on work that not only evoked a sentiment, either literal or metaphorical, but displayed a high quality in technique.  My motto has always been “art should speak for itself” and I applied that to this selection.  There were so many great pieces to choose from, in the end I feel my selections combined may speak to each other as well as the audience.”

Artist featured in The Road Less Traveled are: Lyndy Bush, Tara Kelley-Cruz, Shelley Hull, Ken Peterson, Christy Lynne Seving, Lauren Lipinski Eisen, Linda Farrelly, William Rohns, Jim Halvorsen, Justin ‘Proxy-mo’ Brown, Leo Franco, Kathy Knaus, Rich Chamberlain, Peter Herod, Lindsay Seier, Kelly Frappier Larson, Kathy Fisher, Carolyn Doran, Dustin Hampton, Thomas Shepherd, Jenn Merz CQ, Denise Zubizarreta, Jesse Neumann, Leslie Van Stelten, Lisabeth Blanche, Carolyn Moore, Felecia Ashby, SheRa Kelley, Neal Pierman, Sen Nguyen, Colleen Tully, Erica Kaye Smith, Jenny Wilson, and Terry Decker.

Gayla Lemke    Light and Dark: Circadian Rhythms

As we move into the darker days of winter, the importance of light and of embracing the contrast inherent in life becomes more apparent. Yin and yang, light and dark, sorrow and joy…the balance of opposites…internal rhythms and universal rhythms…these are the things that inspired this work.

Mark Ferrell    Unsolved Mysteries

My show is titled ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ because I’m a fan of the show, but it also is a good description of my paintings. This isn’t to say that I think these paintings are unresolved- on the contrary, I scrutinized these paintings quite a bit. Like the TV show, though, my works (based on photographs of the suburbs I grew up in) are both reflective of reality, but also reference the supernatural. I think this illustrates what I prefer painting to be, a dichotomy between drawing from what we see while acknowledging the spiritual trail left by an artists’ hand (what some would call sense of touch). These paintings are also a form of wish fulfillment, taking my sometimes isolated environment and adding what I wish to see in them.

Travis Vermilye  Sporangia

The natural world and a lifelong attraction to the beauty and wonder of tiny life forms viewed through a magnification lens inspire my work. Through digital composite images and short animated film, I aim to capture the wondrous joy of childlike discovery and exploration of the natural world and present this, best that I can, as it appears in my memory and imagination. The pieces exhibited here draw inspiration, sometimes very directly, from the fantastically surreal forms found in the fruiting bodies of molds and slime molds.

Stephen Shugart  Symbiotic

Symbiotic is an exhibition of light-based constructions, reliefs and other constructions/sculptures. In this exhibition, Stephen Shugart explores the theme of the symbiotic relationship between the stuff of our man-made (people-made) commercial world and natural elements using weathered and decomposing wood, stones, electrical wire, fluorescent light bulb, cardboard shipping boxes and other manufactured materials.

Faith Williams  Cyclical Forces: Explorations on the interconnected relationships of plants and pollinators

Faith Williams is an interdisciplinary artist who is driven by curiosity. She explores the connections of nature and civic engagement through drawing, printmaking and interactive arts. After working with science-based themes in her artwork for the past couple years, she set out to collaborate with biologists first-hand this summer in order to create more science-informed artwork. She spent two weeks observing and assisting field research at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory near Crested Butte, Colorado. Her new body of artwork aims to consider what we know about plant-pollinator relationships and what we are still searching to understand.

20% of all artwork sales will go toward non-profit organizations that support environmental advocacy and pollinator habits.

Alane Holsteen   Reminiscences 2008-2021

In 2008, I moved into my first studio out of my home. In a small 200 square foot space, I created large figurative and botanical artwork. But I noticed my painting breaking down, and the urge to paint less representatively, and more intuitively. I switched from painting with oil to painting with encaustic (beeswax and tree resin), which made me become a collaborator with nature herself, bending in the direction the materials themselves took me. In this retrospective, I hope you see the progression, and ultimately are inspired to continue to evolve in your own life.

Katie Hoffman Unsalable

Katie Hoffman presents a survey exhibition spanning two decades of her paintings which are too dark, disturbing, dystopic, or just too weird to hang on your walls.

Clara Harbour  Location, Location, Location

Clara Harbour’s dioramas explore a 2020 quarantine inspired desire for locations. A strong sense of juvenilia taps into childlike fantasy in several of the pieces, and humor remains a strong element throughout Location Location Location. The mixed media dioramas are texturally varied and impart a great deal of unique ambience, which along with a theatrical detailed dressing turns these dioramas into little stories.
