Jessie Summa Russo: None & Everything
Mixed-media collages blur abstraction and landscape through obsessively arranged fragments created over three decades and collected from three centuries. Relentless grids frame shapes that echo natural elements like branching to form one multicellular organism reflecting inner work beyond all-or-nothing thinking.
Ruth Kapcia: Resilience in Bloom
Dahlia paintings rendered in melted wax create a fresh series balancing the sorrow and joy of the current moment by drawing on traditional flower symbolism. Kapcia melts oil pastels into multi-layered pointillism images based on her own photography from a Skagit Valley nursery in the PNW.
