David Diethelm - “Awash in the Flow”

The Optimistic Struggle
This collection displays the use of thinned oil paint and gravity-led composition. From the spreading shapes of Icebergs Melting in Rain to the upward-moving energy of Driptych, the work reveals a world that is simultaneously eroding and emerging—a testament to the resilience of creativity, offering a vibrant, impressionistic look at the energy surrounding us.

KF Gregory - “Liminal space”

Between two worlds
KF Gregory is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Eugene, OR whose oil and watercolor paintings explore liminal, otherworldly spaces. Inspired by years of travel through the American West and beyond, his landscapes feel both familiar and imagined—quiet, atmospheric places suspended between reality and dream.

In the Klausmeier Room

Steven Ferri - “Anonymous”

“These people do not exist.”
"Anonymous" explores the fragile line between recognition and absence. By combining synthetic portraiture with material obstruction, "Anonymous" shifts portraiture away from representation and toward process. It asks not who is depicted, but how recognition itself is constructed — and what happens when that process breaks down.

ECCO School - “In Our Own Words” Special Student Exhibition

Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, students explore personal
expression in their own distinct ways. This collection celebrates
authenticity, creativity, and the power of individual voice.
