May 13 — June 6

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 16, 4 — 6pm

Two painters. Two very different roads into the Southern landscape. Finney is a working impressionist who spent fifteen years drawing for Disney before turning to oil full-time; Davis is an English-born painter and novelist who crossed an ocean for a single book about Alabama and never really left. Hung together, they ask the same question from two directions : what do you actually owe a landscape when you decide to paint it?

June 10 — July 4

Opening Reception: Saturday, June 13, 4 — 6pm

The strongest contrast pairing of the season. Smith paints the slow disappearance of High Country barns and homesteads in a moody, restrained palette — the architecture of a place quietly leaving. Knight, who studied under Larry Poons at the Art Students League and runs Chef & the Farmer with Vivian Howard, builds gestural abstracts that come off the canvas with extreme texture and color. One looks back, quiet. The other moves forward, loud.

July 8 — August 1

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 18, 4 — 6pm

Both artists work the land, in different materials. Oversmith is a plein-air impressionist who paints on location — the High Country mostly, with long stretches in France and Italy — chasing light off a waterfall or a sunlit field. Stinson is a ceramicist; her vessels and wall platters carry layered glaze, multiple firings, and what she calls "evidence of time." The painter chases the moment. The potter holds the cycle.

August 5 — August 29

Opening: Saturday, August 8, 4 — 6pm

The season closes on three artists working in the representational tradition who each pull something quieter underneath. Swain paints hyper-realistic subjects floating on textured abstract grounds — what he calls "a balance between chaos and control." DiBenedetto paints classical still life — lemons, cherries, bird's nests, folded petals — the kind of slow attention that turns a fruit bowl into a small mystery. Jaskevich carves figures in stone, often combining marble, cypress wood, and found objects in the Greco-Roman tradition. All three are technically classical. None are painting or carving exactly what they appear to be.
