Jessica Singerman
Of Stones And Earth And Air
October 25 – December 17, 2021
Singerman is inspired by the poetry of nature: color and light in the landscape, seasons, and the passing of time. In the artist's own words, "My work is a kind of meditation and a love letter to life and painting. It is through painting and outdoor activity that I can quiet my mind, make sense of life, and explore spirituality. I want my work to create wonder for people and to be evocative of the outdoor spaces that inspire, like mountains, valleys, and skies."

Nicole M. Santiago
August 16 – October 8, 2021
In her works, Santiago portrays semi-autobiographical scenes of everyday life, rejecting the grandiose in lieu of the mundane, surely a contemporary nod to 17th-century Dutch genre painting. The non-heroic characters in her works are embedded in the throes of domestic mundanity, even when those characters are marginalized or seemingly absent. But these prosaic personal depictions do not exist solely on the surface. Instead, the artist invites the viewer to explore deeper narrative layers, divulging a moodier undercurrent of universal grief, humor, and selfless devotion.

Goldsleger/Millard Exhibition
March 16 – April 17, 2020
The Sechrest Gallery of Art is thrilled to exhibit the work of internationally-known contemporary artists Cheryl Goldsleger and Larry Millard. Goldsleger and Millard bring their unique sensibilities together in this exhibition: Goldsleger’s paintings and drawings weave together geometry with abstract, painterly marks to express our contemporary sensibilities; while Millard’s use of geometrical forms in his sculptures give the impression that his pieces are innate objects in the spaces we occupy.
