The University of Alabama Gallery is pleased to present Jayne Morgan - Honey, I'm Home for its summer exhibition. This show will open this First Friday June 5th to the public. It will be on display from June 5th- September 18th. There will be a public reception September 4th from 5-7pm with the artist.
For more than fifteen years, Jayne Morgan has used the iconic Honeybear bottle as a recurring motif to explore memory, identity, and belonging. In Honey, I’m Home, the familiar Honeybear moves beyond the still life, becoming a vehicle for stories of loss and healing, love and home, and the unexpected sweetness found in everyday moments.
Morgan leads art activities as a volunteer for Children's of Alabama and Unless U, and has served as art director for the Exceptional Foundation. She teaches private art classes for children, and her artwork is the face of the anti-littering campaign in Hoover, AL. She has worked on film and video projects in Los Angeles and in Birmingham. A full time exhibiting painter, she and her husband criss-cross the country as extensive travelers and adventurers.
Morgan has a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia.

Chewing Gum will run from March 6-26, 2026 in the UAG with a reception on First Friday, March 6, from 5-7 p.m.

Will Henry is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Alabama, working across photography, printmaking, graphic design, drawing, and book arts. Their practice explores materiality and image-making through both traditional and experimental processes. Henry earned a BFA in Fine Arts with concentrations in photography, printmaking, and graphic design from the University of Montevallo. They went on to receive both an MA and MFA in Studio Art, focusing on photography and printmaking, from The University of Alabama. They are currently pursuing a second MFA in Book Arts at The University of Alabama.

Henry, a winner of a 2026 Verdant Fund grant, has recently juried work into the Susan Nomberg McCollough Fine Arts Initiative 2025 and the 2026 West Alabama Juried Show. They recently showed work in the Sella-Granata Art Gallery and have a group exhibition at UA’s McClure Library scheduled for Spring 2026.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
We all move back and forth between public and private spaces. Rather than call attention to the origin or the destination, I pay attention to what is found along the way. I am compelled by the social mediation of landscape, and how desire and dis-
regard are manifested in objects and spaces over time. I’m influenced by the legacy of landscape painting, of Manifest Destiny, and its current expression in our built
and natural environment. My work celebrates the things we pass by, often unnoticed, while moving about our day. I am interested in entropy as well as the growth that is its companion.
Close observation of the patterns and structures in nature, as well as the rhythm of its seasonal cycles, is an enthusiasm and an influence. I see tenacity and resilience within these systems and feel deeply connected to them. There are relationships to
environment and climate, globalization, economic collapse, among other contemporary issues of both public and private concern.
Sara Dismukes is an Associate Professor of Design at Troy University, where she has been on the faculty since 2006.
In addition to design work, she also maintains an active studio practice. She earned her BFA at Henderson State University and her MFA at East Carolina University.
