Nadia AlKhun
BIOMES UNDER THE SURFACE
Kader Gallery
Alkhun’s artworks are influenced by biology to communicate her vision of the real world.

Alkhun captures the unseen, chaotic, and ambiguous details of nature, allowing the viewer to experience the freedom of imagination.
Quenten Brown
King Salad
Front Gallery
Brown’s two dimensional, modern, and abstract paintings on canvas and wood have an emphasis on bright, bold colors and clean swooping lines. Brown pulls inspiration from all areas of life, such as traffic lights, automobiles, superheroes, and the local radar.
Lydia Hansen
Sensory Sculpture Garden
Kader Gallery
The Sensory Sculpture Garden is a touch-friendly exhibition. Using abstract shapes which mimic nature or mathematical patterns within crochet, Hansen creates a multitude of 3D shapes that are assembled to showcase tactile experience of hard, soft, smooth, rough, fuzzy, springy, and more. She also blends traditional crochet techniques with aspects of other art forms, such as painting, woodworking, and collage to challenge conventional ideas of what crochet can be.

Landscapes and Mindscapes
Kader Gallery
M E Fuller paints energetic landscapes, mindscapes, and other forms in the abstract style. Her work is intuitive and depicts movement and sensations experienced through the act of creating art.

Kader and Front Gallery
Color plays a crucial psychological role in the human experience, and how we
perceive color has the power to in uence our mood, evoke emotions, and convey
nonverbal information. However, color perception varies widely between people
and can be easily manipulated and changed in different lighting and environments.
How does color, or the lack of color, influence you, society, or art?

The Tea Drawings
Front Gallery
“The Tea Drawings” combine Traffa’s lifelong passion for adornment, an interest in herbal medicines, and feminist perspective on the female body. These drawings, which were created using a single black pencil to capture shadow and light, portray women in ordinary, fleeting moments or the natural, imperfect-perfection of the female nude, wrapped in intuitive and inky marks.

Amanda Langer
Fabrications
Kader Gallery
Amanda Langer’s work is an exploration into the contrasting and conflicting natures between metal and fiber, and the potential harmony therein. By exploring the dualities within the materials, she challenges the assumed natures of our own selves. Langer investigates how fiber and metal can be combined in new and surprising ways. She strives for these visual metaphors to illuminate the infinite potential that our individual selves and societal groups have to work together and achieve peace.
Hideki Suzuki
History, Myth and Everyday Life in Japan
Kader Gallery
Born and raised in Japan, Suzuki creates masks using the method similar to that of the masks used in traditional Japanese stage plays, Noh. This exhibition displays humans, animals and imaginary creatures based on Japanese history and culture.
Corey Cleven
Pallette Brine
Front Gallery
The series “Palette Brine’ is the result of color associations and the patterns derived from them. Though these pieces appear abstract, they each have deliberate rhythm and coordination. Cleven has synesthesia, a condition in which the senses share associations with one another; these paintings are illustrations of that condition and a way to make a language out of it. Colors transition into something new. Like crosswinds meeting, they collide, shift, grow, or diffuse into one another.

David Dobbs
Distorted Nostalgia
Kader Gallery
Dobbs exhibition consists of a series of oil paintings depicting images from older films and television distorted to appear digital. These nostalgic images from films have the ability to question our views on history in American culture. Dobb’s paintings explore how people can yearn for a time or history that was only present on studio sets in controlled environments, and therefore are not a real representation of the past.
Kate Kerrigan
What is Possible
Kader Gallery
“What is Possible” is a mosaic exhibition exploring positive themes and concepts, including Kerrigan’s cross-country pandemic project, “Piecing Us Together.” Filled with inspiration and optimism, her visually stunning works are both thought-provoking and uplifting.
Lisa Wicka
good enough for now
Front Gallery
The exhibition “good enough for now” highlights a series by printmaker Lisa Wicka. Works on paper and sculpted wood panels highlight the often-misguided ways we cope with the everyday through the use of experimental approaches with text and texture.
Jennifer Scammahorn
Life After Life
Balcony Gallery
Specifically interested in exploring nature’s cycles, Scammahorn’s paintings explore rebirth and regeneration. Seasons bring challenges and tragedy. Creatures and foliage die. There is rebirth and regeneration through this death, a growth through what disintegrates around us. In this series, Scammahorn creates to understand this vulnerable, yet beautiful process.
