Artists: June Glasson
In the past, June Glasson’s work often invited viewers to think about the relationship between how women are seen and how women choose to see or present themselves. With these new pieces, Glasson has been thinking about the material and symbolic labor that women often perform, whether voluntarily or not, both for themselves and for others. They are paintings about women’s work. These paintings move between the individual and the iconographic. Some are portraits of women that Glasson personally knows and cares for; others engage with the iconography of American nation-building and Western liberal democracy. The paintings in the “Aerie” series play around with the white female figure’s deployment as a stand-in for abstract ideals of nation, liberty, justice, democracy, etc.; whereas the individual figures in the “Never Done” series seem poised between play, rage, domestic work, protest, and maybe even witchcraft. Funnily enough, the abstract, iconographic world of the “Aerie” women becomes particularized and individualized, while the concrete individual worlds of “Never Done” become symbolic and iconographic.
The Love Language of Fire
| 02.07.2025 - 03.14.2025 |
Artists: Erika Osborne
Erika Osborne’s The Love Language of Fire examines the evolving relationship between humanity and wildfire in the forests of the western United States. Once a vital force nurturing ecosystems, wildfire has become catastrophic due to a legacy of fire suppression, poor forest management, and human-induced climate change. Yet, Osborne’s work reveals the astounding resilience of these woodlands—how they heal through the emergence of plant medicines and the regeneration of flora such as Aspen, Fireweed, and Lupine. These paintings serve as Osborne’s attempt to reconcile the dominant Western narrative that categorizes fire as destructive, rather than restorative. Through detailed observation of burnt forests, Osborne takes on the role of apprentice to nature, presenting wildfire as an alternative remedy for ecosystems in need of healing.
She Rides the Sky

Artists: Daphne Sweet
“She Rides the Sky” explores the mythic landscapes of the American West, where starry horses and golden cows embody feminine power and transformation. These symbols, drawn from personal narratives and western mythology, traverse boundless skies and endless horizons, reflecting themes of freedom, resilience, and self-discovery. Blending intricate detail with expansive, contemporary compositions, this body of work reimagines archetypes through the interplay of myth and reality. The starry horse moves with untethered grace, while the golden cow offers a grounding presence—together creating a visual dialogue that celebrates the enduring strength and complexity of women within these vast and storied spaces.
