"Sojourn 2"will be on display from November 16, 2018 through January 11, 2019 with an opening reception on Friday, November 16 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.

This is the gallery's annual holiday show that will display a variety of works both in medium and style - black and white photography, abstract mixed media paintings, realistic oil paintings, mixed media collages, color field paintings, and tromp l'oeil paintings.

Robert K. Byershas had a lifelong love of the outdoors, as well as old buildings and mining towns, and in his images he captured the beauty he found in his explorations. After studying with Ansel Adams, as well as Wynn Bullock and Brett Weston, he started to seriously pursue photography. He primarily used a large-format camera and photographed extensively in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Japan.

Martine Jardel'spaintings reflect her intuitive response to colors. The works are composed of an assemblage of colors, gestures, and marks of paints, pastels, pencil, ink, and charcoal suggesting atmospheric images of landscapes and seascapes. Jardel has been featured across many group and solo exhibitions both in the United States and France.

Janet Jonesuses a variety of found materials to create stunning layered collages. The pieces in the series are meticulously crafted from layers of unaltered materials to preserve their integrity allowing the papers to speak for themselves. Her works act as a process and each series serves as a study of the material.

Steve Levindraws inspiration from traditional paintings dating back to the 17th century. HIs tromp l'oeil work is based on the wunderkammersor curiosity cabinets. 'The juxtaposition of disparate objects may really be only a metaphor for that logic but there is a dreamlike richness which can arise from the dislocation of context.' Combining both subject (curiosity cabinets) and style (Surrealism), he is able to create scenes filled with a variety of real objects and objects of the imagination.

Lori Robinson'sinspiration for her artistic ventures stems from the beauty and reverence of the sea and sky. She has turned to new horizons as the focus of her works. By reducing sky, sea, and land to their essential forms in color fields, it allows her to highlight the other striking qualities of these natural scapes.

Brandon Smith'sworks rely upon a relationship between traditional oil painting methods and expressive brushstrokes, creating a beautiful blend of expressive and precise marks on each canvas. His style of painting and exceptional composition envelop the natural beauty of landscapes in his Plein Air and studio works.
