Through the Eyes of a Child

Through the eyes of a child

June 14 - September 21

 

To Dennis Smith, the child is a metaphor for life. Children’s lives, as they explore the world around them, parallel our lives as adults as we discover our identity in this universe. While his figurative bronze sculptures capture the human spirit and innocence of childhood, his loosely depicted suburban landscapes reflect his Utah surroundings through a youthful perspective.

Jeanne 2023

Jeanne Leighton Lundberg Clarke

Sept. 19, 2023- May 18, 2024

Bright, bold, and bursting with color-drenched patterns, the paintings of Jeanne Leighton-Lundberg Clarke shimmer like the intricate stained-glass panels of an abstract cathedral. Bedecked with animated hues and kaleidoscopic designs, her works flirt with visual overload, a befitting quality for someone who christened herself a maximalist. Her works demand attention with their vibrant luminosity and methodical patterns, which collide in an abstract tapestry of designs.
