There Will Be Calm Within the Storm — Exhibition by Kelly Ann Phipps
Friday, November 27 • 4:00–7:00 PM
Pacific Arts Market Gallery • Free to Attend
Join us for an immersive evening with artist Kelly Ann Phipps as she debuts There Will Be Calm Within the Storm, a six‑piece collection exploring grief, healing, and our connection to nature. Through layered oils, mixed media, and natural materials like bark and sandstone, Kelly’s work reflects the emotional landscapes that follow loss — moments of chaos, stillness, clarity, and quiet renewal.
Visitors are invited to pause, reflect, and experience the textures, stories, and seasonal imagery woven throughout the collection. Enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere with ambient lighting, gentle forest‑inspired sound, a place to sit with the work, and optional interactive elements including the Gathering Tree.
Meet the artist, spend time with the paintings, and share conversation over wine and light refreshments. A meaningful way to begin the holiday season — with space for connection, remembrance, and hope.
