Embark on an artistic odyssey with Analeise Marie Jarvi-Beamer, Alice Blessing, Wynn Davis, and Layl McDill as they breathe life into surfaces, each with a unique tale to tell.

Analeise Marie, an emerging artist from the Twin Cities, weaves explorations of femininity and the human figure into her work.

Alice Blessing, a community-oriented teaching artist, paints vibrant portraits using her fingers as well as brushes, calling attention to depression, identity and patriarchy in her practice.

Wynn Davis repurposes discarded trinkets, creating mixed media pieces that visually narrate the stories of the human condition.

Layl McDill's mission unfolds in her animal-centric work, compelling viewers to reexamine the world and find creative solutions within its complex tapestry.
