SUSAN RUBIN
Resilience

In chaotic times, life’s gyroscope tilts precariously off center. The relentless persistence of the natural world provides a place to stand as we seek equilibrium.
As a botanical artist, I look to mountains and gardens for inspiration. Observing and drawing each plant steadily, mark by mark, calms the racing world.
Art is resilience.

MICHAELE KEYES
Joint Venture

In her organic constructions, Michaele Keyes uses wood and other weathered materials. She gathers her items in forests, fields, stream beds and alleys. Keyes pairs these wooden pieces with monotypes placed on canvas.

Tin Can, 2025, wood, 24" x 27"

The Sky is the Limit, 2026, encaustic and mixed media on panel, framed,38” x 38”

PATRICIA AARON
Inspired

Material exploration lies at the center of Patricia Aaron's work. Encaustic wax, inks, oils, acrylics, and textiles coexist within layered compositions. Each piece develops through cycles of construction and disruption, revealing a visual language shaped by time, memory, and material. Together, these pieces trace an ongoing conversation between past and present--between ideas first imagined more than two decades ago, and those still unfolding.
