MessageCollection: Artist Explorations, 2024
This exhibition focuses on the individual collections of three local artists: Sarah Jones, Amy Kalimat, and Jennifer Nelson. Each artist has their own style, medium, and connection with their work that we invite you to explore!
Sarah Jones
In her collection, “Chromalicious”, Sarah uses her paintings to express and preserve emotions linked to personal memories. She employs gestures and colors to capture fleeting moments, and the layered style reflects the passage of time. Her paintings often evoke natural imagery like crashing waves or ethereal landscapes, and she draws inspiration from personal experiences, collections, films, and observing sunsets.
Amy Kalimat
The "Black, White and Blind" collection combines abstract works from Amy’s "Blind Intuitive" and "Black and White" series. Inspired by personal experiences and emotions, her work explores themes of growth, understanding, and finding peace amidst challenges. The "Blind Intuitive" series involves a unique process where the watercolor foundation for each piece is created blindly, guided by internal thoughts and feelings. The "Black and White" series focuses on linear design and dot-making. Amy hopes that viewers will appreciate the details and layers in her work.
Jennifer Nelson
In the “Destinations” collection, Jennifer is inspired by her daily travels and the music, podcasts, or books she listens to while driving. She creates graphic shapes representing travel maps and sound, often experimenting with different scales. The "Summer Bites" series consists of smaller works that Jennifer can easily carry and enjoy during her daily life.
