"My mixed media works confront contemporary climate anxieties while celebrating the allure of the natural world, serving as a mirror to our multifaceted and conflicting emotional responses to our climate crisis. Offering solace, reflection, and critique, my sculptures blend woven portals, ceramics, found objects, and other diverse materials to depict the complex interplay between human desires and our planet's needs." - Morgan Free Rose
"I am a painter, a traveler; quiet, curious, experimental, ever searching for beauty.
To begin with, I work intuitively; playing with combinations of colors and textures until the painting nudges me, and reminds me of a feeling, a place, a poem.
My paintings reflect my emotional connection to the beauty and mystery of nature that surrounds me.
But what is beauty? For me, beauty is the sound of wind, the smell of weather, the dappling of light, the dance of leaves, even rust on a barrel; nothing conventional, usually imaginary, sensitive, sensual, thought provoking." - Susan Steiner
"I am fascinated by the apparent line between spirit and matter. My recent installation work resembles embryonic and cocoon forms. These “etherial floatoids” hover in space between the weightiness of fleshy existence and transcendence of mind and matter. They are made of tree branches, cellulose skin, fishing lures and iridescent threads. All my work aims to evoke the mystery of existence." - Cee Elbert
The public is welcomed to an opening reception May 7, 2026, from 6 - 8 p.m. with the exhibition on display through July 1, 2026.
