The gallery is featuring the work of member artists Luna Lee Ray, Gordon Jameson, & Ronan Peterson Opening reception is on February 27, 2026. Luna Lee Ray Water is Life. In this body of mixed media work, Luna has drawn inspiration from her longstanding love of water in all of its forms: rain, ocean, river, and mist. Her newest pieces call to mind the play of light through moisture in the air and the smell of the ground when dampened. Gordon Jameson Gordon’s work is informed by divergent sources, from the cult imagery of the Virgin Mary to multi-thousand-year-old Native American pictographs, to current events and early Renaissance art. Through these sources, he engages his paintings in a conversation that is intuitive, cathartic, and serendipitous. Gordon’s acrylic paintings develop over time, sometimes months or years, like a garden, always alive and changing. Ronan Peterson Using red earthenware clay, Ronan layers slips, terra sigillatas, and glazes, with wax resist patterning, to create highly decorated earthenware vessels. While his ceramics start with a functional basis, they feature cartoon representations of compositions you might find lying on the forest floor, crawling across the bottom of the ocean, or hovering in space over the surface of a gas giant planet. Ronan hopes viewers and users get a sense that his pots could just slither away if they avert their gaze for too long.
