đź–Ľ "Interlock" by Loree Ovens, as part of our latest exhibition, Wandering Glimmers!

"Wandering Glimmers is a collection of fleeting moments of peace or joy found through daily living. Coined by clinical social worker Deb Dana, “glimmers” are micro-moments of everyday experiences that give the feeling of connection, calm and happiness. Glimmers are everywhere, and everyone experiences them differently.

They are quiet, serendipitous and often unpredictable. These moments can drift in and out of your day naturally. It could be as simple as holding a warm cup of tea, watching sunlight reflected on a window or witnessing a random act of kindness. Glimmers help ground you by shifting your perspective and bringing you to the present. This quiet mindfulness practice speaks of resilience and of not losing your sense of wonder and curiosity in difficult times.

Finding light when you least expect it." - Loree Ovens

Exhibiting now until October 18.

đź–Ľ "Dark Woods" by Tracy Thomson, as part of our current exhibition, All The Living Things!

"We are—all of us, predator and prey alike. Intertwined in a constant dance of celebration, survival, curiosity, love, envy, hate, danger, destruction and unpredictable consequence.

All of this and more, enters my work. Thankfully, not all at once; rather, it sneaks in, unbeknownst to me, as I build my reconstructions—images magically appear! My subconscious thoughts become visibly apparent.

Sometimes I think... Ewww, I should take that out, it’s too disturbing.. but now I take nothing out. If it appears, it’s meant to be. I let the chips fall where they may because…that’s life!!" - Tracy Thomson

📍 Exhibiting now until October 18!
