Neither white nor beige, ecru has a presence all its own. Warm, nuanced and quietly striking, it reveals itself through texture, tone and the smallest shifts in color.

In his latest body of work, James Needham explores the restorative power of reflection through layered collage compositions that celebrate beauty, joy, and presence in everyday life. Drawing from moments of observation and shared experience, Needham brings together fragments of imagery to create works that encourage a slower, more attentive way of seeing. Increasingly shaped by the presence of his family, his practice blurs the boundaries between art and daily life, allowing connection and contemplation to become part of the creative process. The resulting works invite viewers to find meaning and wonder in the ordinary.

In her latest body of work, Sara Marlowe Hall explores landscape as both a physical environment and an emotional terrain. Working with layered plaster, pigment, and paint, Hall builds richly textured surfaces that evoke weathered earth, shifting horizons, and changing light. Moving between abstraction and representation, her compositions draw from memory and atmosphere rather than specific places. Through a tactile process of building, scraping, and layering, Hall echoes the natural rhythms of erosion and renewal, creating contemplative works that invite reflection on perception, presence, and our connection to the natural world.

In her latest body of work, Virginie Hucher explores the relationship between depth, geometry, and perception through carefully layered tones and brushwork. Gradual tonal shifts give rise to intricate geometric forms that appear almost sculptural, creating a sense of dimension within otherwise restrained compositions. Guided by Taoist principles of unity and balance, Hucher considers each layer as part of an interconnected whole, allowing light, shadow, and form to exist in quiet equilibrium. The resulting works invite contemplation, revealing complexity through subtle shifts in tone and structure.

Give the work room to speak.

The right placement doesn’t compete with the art, it gives you more ways to experience it. From across the room, up close and in passing, consider how scale and sightlines can change what you notice each time you look.

What happens when opposites coexist?

In her latest body of work, Two Things Can Be True, Astri Styrkestad Haukaas explores the complexity of lived experience through paintings shaped by memory, sensation, and the natural world. Beauty and loss, presence and absence, intention and surrender exist side by side, unfolding through expressive layers of color and gesture.

Rather than seeking resolution, Haukaas allows these tensions to remain, creating works that feel deeply personal yet universally familiar.

In her latest body of work, Loralee Jade explores the space between memory, dream, and lived experience through luminous compositions created with dye on silk. Embracing the fluid nature of her medium, she allows color and form to emerge organically, creating atmospheric works that feel both ethereal and deeply familiar. Recurring motifs of thresholds, shelters, and radiant centers evoke quiet emotional landscapes, inviting viewers into contemplative spaces where meaning remains open, intuitive, and ever evolving.

In his latest body of work, Shawn Polmo distills portraiture to its essential elements, creating striking compositions defined by formal clarity and quiet intensity. Through a restrained palette, expressive brushwork, and bold lines, his figures possess a commanding presence that feels both intimate and enduring. Rather than relying on spectacle, Polmo’s portraits invite prolonged contemplation, revealing the emotional depth and quiet authority that emerge through simplicity.
