Sam Meehan Artist Reception • March 15th
Not Otherwise Specified by Sam Meehan Not Otherwise Specified is a series of abstract portraits exploring mental health.

This series of portraits incorporates bright colors and beautiful elements while expressing what may be considered heavy subjects. I hope it will show that it is possible to add beauty…

June 6th • Bridget Enderle Artist Reception
Unraveling by Bridget Enderle Unraveling contemplates the paradox of impermanence, exploring the transient nature of human experience, life, and love.

Sometimes loosely organized and systematic processes cajole a semblance of cohesion and continuity from ostensible serendipity, happenstance, or randomness. Sometimes ideas are left nascent, nondescript, and open-ended.Using an interdisciplinary approach, the conceptual underpinning of any given project ultimately determines its own medium.
