"Recording Time (with Scraps and Words)" by Courtney Kenny
OCTOBER 3 - 30, 2025
In her solo show “Recording Time (with Scraps and Words)”, mixed media artist Courtney Kenny uses poetry as a form of sketching to record observations, emotions, frustrations, and revelations. Life is so finite and yet so mysterious; through Courtney’s art and poetry she attempts to document these visceral moments of awe, inviting viewers to explore the depths of the human psyche through the interplay of observation, metaphor, and artistic expression.
"Fluid Landscapes" by Michael Kinsley
OCTOBER 3 - 30, 2025
In his solo show “Fluid Landscapes”, Michael Kinsley’s newer landscape paintings are notable for their intriguing amplification of Nature’s sensual forms. These “fluid” landscapes in oil depict familiar scenes in SE Utah and Western Colorado, especially the Roaring Fork Valley. Though he often paints outside, his larger studio pieces are based on his outside sketches. Michael says, “In an increasingly troubling world, my paintings are solace to me and hopefully to the viewer.”
"Intimate. Immensity." by Laura Dortmans
OCTOBER 3 - 30, 2025
In her solo show “Intimate. Immensity.”, Laura Dortmans’ ceramic sculptures perform as a surrogate for the physicality of her body – not as direct representation, rather as a response to bodily sensations. The solidification of gestural movement translates a moment of intimate touch and gives form to the immensity of internal geography; desire, tender love, sensual connection, preserved in space and time.
