April 16 - June 11, 2022

This studio gallery exhibition shines, sparkles, and glows with different forms of light. These paintings and drawings feature subjects that glow in the dark in the traditional sense – like Mike Knox’s phosphorescent jellyfish – and subjects that shine with electric or reflected light: Faith McLuckie’s cat eyes, Gillian Patterson’s spotlit ballerina, and the moon, which appears in many of the works. Some hold their own metaphorical light, as in Helen Lewis’ “People Going Out Dancing” with figures painted on a flushed field of red and orange, or Jay Bird’s abstracted “Lovers at Night.” As a whole, the show presents subjects that are seen most clearly in the context of contrasting darkness, evoking feelings of wonder, mystery, and magic.
 
Opening Saturday, April 16 at 9 a.m. with an opening reception from 4 - 7 p.m. Masks required.
