In Niina Chebry’s A Change of Climate, paintings of the iceberg in various forms of existence are imbued with their majestic beauty along with their peril in the face of climate change. Reflecting the spiritual power of the forest and its crucial connection to us, Andrea Pratt’s Ecotherapy features abstract oil paintings exploring and reflecting on the sacred, healing, and intangible aspects of our local forest ecosystem. Denise Allen’s Listed features Lino-cut prints drawing attention to our local at risk species.
to Oct 14th. Niina Chebry’s exhibition A Change of Climate in the Main Gallery uses the iceberg as a main subject representing a range of sentiments, particularly towards climate change. Paintings of the iceberg in various forms of existence are imbued with their majestic beauty along with their peril. As we experience more climate disruptors such as droughts, floods, fires, and extreme weather patterns, feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness related to eco-anxiety rise. Through her sweeping moody compositions, capturing of weather and time changes, and variously angled micro and macro visions of icebergs, Chebry aims to generate awareness and discussion and to inspire and stir the viewer.

Oct 14th. Reflecting the spiritual power of the forest and its crucial connection to us, Andrea Pratt’s exhibition Ecotherapy in the Eve Smart Gallery features abstract oil paintings exploring and reflecting on the sacred and intangible aspects of our local forest ecosystem. Drawing from personal experience, Pratt emphasizes how healing a connection to our local environment can be and how essential it is to our wellbeing. At a time when reflecting on the value of our connection to the earth is more important than ever, Pratt illustrates the intersections between our own very human health and the health of our ecosystem.

In his work Myron Jones distills the core elements of the countryside or seaside around him, carefully constructing landscapes with an emphasis on form, simplicity, minimalism occasionally bordering on abstraction, and the visual effects of light and weather.
