Viewers of Linda Rzoska’s artwork will find themselves immersed in imagery which explores the presence of the landscape while focusing on revealing its voice. Rzoska
portrays the landscape as a quiet and shy presence – standing back while it witnesses the doings of its human inhabitants. Her work is a reminder that the landscape is a community to which humans belong – and which they should nurture and respect – not a commodity to be used.

Ellen VanderMyde’s series of paintings “Before the Light Leaves Us” is born from grief and personal loss. She found herself craving the intimacy and connection that
she felt while painting portraits. The recurring motifs of botanicals, light and fire lend themselves to the greater theme of the impermanent and ever-changing nature of life. Over the course of the year that she devoted to this group of paintings, she rediscovered that grief and joy are linked.
