Discover a world where culture, tradition and imagination intertwine through the eyes of six Indigenous artists, including co-curator Heather Friedli. Featuring a wide array of mediums, this exhibition transcends limitations and embraces creativity by implementing traditional techniques passed down through generations — yet layered with bold experimentation and modern interpretations.
Artists Rachele Krivichi and Deanna Mayer immerse themselves in the outdoors, noticing colors, textures and materials to create artwork that transforms and enriches the indoor space, bringing elements of nature indoors. Krivichi’s multimedia works in acrylic and collage illustrate the interplay between nature and the intimate world of the interior, providing a counterpoint to Mayer’s botanical bas-relief sculptures that seem to capture and preserve a moment in time.
In this exhibition, artists Linda Gammell, Ann Ginsburgh Hofkin and Dodie Logue focus on “treeness” as the language to describe a deep connection to the natural world expressed through the mediums of photography, drawing and painting.

Exploring the interplay between art and nature, artist Annie Mariano’s exhibition delves into the intricate tapestry of symbiotic relationships that bind the natural world. Through stillness and observation, we unveil the fluidity inherent in both nature and sculpture, where forms intertwine and evolve in harmony. Each piece serves as a mirror to the interconnectedness of living beings, highlighting the delicate balance maintained by ecosystems, with the hope of encouraging people to slow down their daily lives and observe the beauty amongst us.
As you wander through the grounds, we invite visitors to contemplate the reciprocal relationships between nature and humanity. From the gentle curve of a leaf to the intricate patterns of a butterfly or heron’s feather, witness the beauty of nature's design mirrored in the craftsmanship of sculpture.
Ultimately, this exhibition serves as a reminder of our responsibility to nurture and protect the environment that sustains us. By fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world, we strive to inspire a harmonious coexistence between people and nature, ensuring a thriving future for generations to come.
