LIFE - Myles D Wilder
My artwork reflects the complexities of life that I observe and navigate. Inspired by life's twists and turns, I aim to connect with those who appreciate the subtleties of human experience. Through my art, I explore universal themes like heartbreak and nostalgia, tapping into our shared humanity…

Summits: The Beginning, End & Beginning Again - Rakia Jackson
“My path is already laid out for me. Heaven, stars, and moons have orchestrated a musical play that is my life. I bounce through life at my own cadence, as most of us. It's up to me to tap into myself and tackle the summits, even though the path was predestined. When your heart is connected with your mind and body, you get endless possibilities. When you talk with love, compassion, and truth, the world is yours. This journey is mine but it is a shared experience between all.” - Rakia Jackson
The World in Colors - Natalia Leigh
Black canvas is like a beginning in life: plant a seed in the soil where it is dark and black. The seed will grow out turning into colors with sunshine, as goes the painting when I begin on the black canvas. The colors on canvas begin to emerge and grow into the picture of whatever is in my heart. I am studying the symbols of nature, and symbols of subjects that surround us. I use those symbols to tell the story of everyday life.

Food for Thought
Food for Thought
Opening Reception: November 3, 2023 6-9 PM
Featuring: Ariel Williams - Isabella Losskarn - Isabel Lu - Ame Jo Hughes - Be Boggs - Erica McRay - Crystal Folmar - Melan Allen - Myles Wilder - Delanya Robbins
This invitational exhibition showcases artworks that explore the myriad ways in which food and drink shape our experiences and cultures.
From the intimacy of a home-cooked meal to the grandeur of a Michelin-starred feast, food brings people together. It is a source of nourishment, celebration, and connection. Artists in this exhibition use food and drink as a lens through which to examine themes such as identity, memory, community, and the global food system.
Some works are whimsical and playful, while others are more contemplative and challenging. We invite you to reflect on the complex and often contradictory relationship that we have with the things we eat and drink with: Food for Thought.
A Splash of Color - Tio Dino
When I was a young man I never imagined that I would be an artist.
I gradually came to discover the delight in drawing and painting imaginary things. I like to approach my work with little or no image in mind as to what will appear on the paper or canvas. This allows my uncensored spirit to do its best work without interference. In the case of wood, I let the material suggest what will happen. I usually prefer to work with pieces that other carpenters might describe as scrap wood. My goal is to encourage people by putting a splash of color in the world. If I can make you laugh, that is a bonus.
Everything Sooner or Later is Part of Everything Else - Kate Chassner
I am curious about the connection we have, as a society, to lost memories and traces of human histories. My collages are building on something known and creating something that is new, revealing the overlapping stories we all share that have become blurred in this current space it occupies. I am investigating my own memory and stories from my childhood through images and materials I have saved. Allowing for the misplaced pieces to the stories to open new narratives and expand our understanding. I see these works as a way of signaling that our narratives and histories are multilayered, overlapping, and open for interpretation. Leaning into the idea that our blurry memories are provoking a slippage between the real and unreal.
Within/Without

Folded Poetry - Eliza Redmann
When a car accident upended my health, personal life, and career as an architect, I was forced to reinvent myself. I found a way to utilize my creative potential for healing by creating art. My passion to create is now driven by my changed experience of life after my traumatic brain injury. Both the function and aesthetic of my work are born out of experiencing disability.
