"Kubricht's galaxies offer a respite and reminder of how small and fleeting our own troubles are in the grandest scheme."

"An exhibition of 15 relief paintings by Jo Zider based on the archetypes of Grief, Blame and Hope, as they find commonality between a 17th-century playwright's characters and the effects of climate change on the lives of contemporary man."

"Haden’s specialty is re-purposing found objects, trash, or scrap materials, with the intent of changing the viewer’s perception of that object."

"The artist illustrates modern human habits with a sense of humor and absurdity, while commenting on and aiming to satiate the viewer’s need for instant gratification."

“I think of the legacy I’m going to leave behind, and the narratives I want to put forth into the world.”

"I hope my works starts to make our ideals of nature a little more complex, and maybe realistic."

Currently, the gallery’s represented artists include Sonia Borgialli, Matthew Stavrowsky, Peggy Cook, Gloria Sanchez Hart, Monica Puryear, Karen Pittman, and more.
