The Opening Reception is on January 2nd, from 6pm-9pm.
Color & Energy celebrates the unbridled joy of creation—where intuition meets canvas and spontaneity trumps perfection. This exhibition pulses with vibrant abstraction, warm-against-cool color play, and the beautiful accidents that happen when artists surrender to process. It's art as resistance, as discovery, as pure sensory delight.
Four distinctive voices converge in this show: Andi Date layers color and collage into abstract paintings that transform memory into wonder, choosing joy as an act of defiance. Brian Simpson performs with watercolors, acrylics, pencil and charcoal, orchestrating temperature contrasts that sing. Jennifer Hall captures everyday beauty through brushstrokes that know exactly when to stop, trusting paint and canvas to guide her hand. Lori VanEtta crafts vibrant puzzles in acrylic, where color and play intersect in surprising, exquisitely composed explosions. Together, they invite you to feel first, think later, and embrace the gorgeous unpredictability of making.
