Mariella Bisson’s landscapes are built in layers, much like the places they depict.

Working from drawings and paintings made in the field, Bisson creates forests, waterfalls, and rock formations through a mix of oil, acrylic, paper, and collage. In her larger works, torn paper becomes part of the underpainting, adding texture and structure that echoes layers of rock, shifting light, and moving water.

Her work moves between abstraction and figuration, capturing not just a place, but the forces within it: gravity, light, shadow, and time.

Featured here are five works by Mariella Bisson. See them in person at Momentum Gallery, and send us a message to inquire.

A closer look at ULTRAVIOLET by Alli Hoag.

Cast in dichroic glass, this group of butterflies shifts in color as the light and viewing angle change, giving the work a sense of movement and transformation.

Hoag’s practice often explores ideas of magic, connection, and our desire to reach beyond what we can fully see or understand. Here, the butterfly becomes a fitting symbol of that tension between the physical and the imagined.

Happy 85th birthday to our friend, Ron Isaacs! 🎉🎂🎁 Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us in Asheville!

Can you believe these wall sculptures are constructed from plywood and paint? The faded dresses, worn jackets, rusted metal and every leaf and twig are cut from plywood and hand-painted by Ron as trompe l’oeil, meant to fool the eye. Vintage clothing stands in for the people who once wore it, and nature grows right through it.

We’re honored to represent Ron Isaacs and to celebrate this milestone with him. These works are available now at Momentum Gallery. Stop by the gallery in Asheville or send us a message to learn more about a piece.

Happy birthday, Ron. Here’s to many more! 🥂

Built one form at a time, then composed as a whole.

Thor and Jennifer Bueno’s glass installations are made from individually blown forms that echo river stones, geology, and the way color shifts in the natural world. Thor shapes each piece in the hot shop, while Jennifer develops the palette and composition, bringing the elements together into one complete work.

What makes them especially striking is the way they respond to light. Silvered, etched, and mirrored surfaces create depth and reflection, so the pieces seem to change as you move around them.

There is something about twilight that makes the world feel a little quieter.

In “Under the Same Moon,” Ivy Jacobsen brings together 15 new paintings inspired by the fleeting moments between daylight and night. Silhouetted plants, softened skies, and the glow of the rising moon create scenes that feel suspended in time.

At the heart of the exhibition is a shared sense of wonder. Jacobsen’s paintings reflect on the beauty, longing, loss, and passage of time that connect us, wherever we may be looking up from.

“Under the Same Moon” is on view at Momentum Gallery through October 31. Come spend time with the exhibition and experience these luminous works in person.

Steven Anderson turns the life of a tree into a visual record of time.

Working across drawing, painting, collage, and photogram, Anderson returns again and again to tree rings and forest systems. The repeated lines become a way to trace growth, age, connection, and the natural patterns that quietly shape the world around us.

Built through layers of marker, ink, graphite, pastel, oil, colored pencil, and other media, the works feel both precise and organic, translating something scientific into something deeply visual.

Featured here are six works by Steven Anderson. Come spend time with them at Momentum Gallery, and send us a message to inquire if a piece is calling to you.

Patty Carroll’s photographs transform familiar domestic spaces into richly layered, theatrical worlds.

In her Anonymous Women series, Carroll builds densely layered interiors filled with patterned wallpaper, curtains, furniture, and familiar household objects. Hidden within each scene is an anonymous woman, nearly disappearing into the space around her.

Equal parts darkly humorous and unsettling, the series looks at identity, domestic life, and the meanings we attach to the things we surround ourselves with. The closer you look, the more each carefully constructed scene begins to reveal.

Featured here are three works from the series. See more of Patty Carroll’s work at Momentum Gallery, and send us a message to inquire about available pieces.

Now on view at Momentum Gallery: Casey Roberts’ Solo Exhibition, through October 31.

Across this new body of work, Roberts uses the cyanotype process to create dreamlike scenes in deep blue and luminous white, where light becomes part of the story. A glowing cabin, moonlight across water, a figure in silhouette, or a small unexpected detail can completely shift the mood of a piece.

Come experience Casey Roberts: Solo Exhibition in person at Momentum Gallery in downtown Asheville, now through October 31. Send us a message to inquire about any piece that catches your eye.
