In the Main Gallery: Oil paintings by Mattie Iverson, which explore space, distance, and emotion with paint and process. Each finished painting starts as a small study that was spontaneously created and then meticulously studied and recorded.

In the North Gallery: Mixed media by J. Gordon, who's work lies somewhere between painting and sculpture. Cement, clay, wax, and found objects are layered, then built up, worn down, and subjected to a variety of conditions before being finished with a layer of oil paint. Gordon's work creates a dialogue about decay and renewal, the constant give and take of life.

In the Interior Gallery: Mixed media installations by Misha Van de Veire, who's work investigates the correlation between form and content.
