In Sweet Narratives of Peril, Jessica “J.B.” Burke has created an exhibition of perceptual drawing. Her drawings in traditional and digital media express the language of excess and consequence through surreal tableaus that use a saccharine sweet color palette to underscore the implied threat of ultra processed snacks.

Burke’s work has been included in national and international juried exhibitions across the U.S., as well as in Japan, China and Korea.

Elizabeth Coffey presents Vivid Dream, an exhibition of mixed media paintings exploring the tension between the seen and the unseen, and its relevance to female identity. Coffey often paints on lace fabric, a symbol of traditional feminine domesticity and accepted roles for women, serving as a veil to true identity.

Based in Richmond, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and has exhibited in a variety of regional and national venues. In 2022, Coffey was awarded a residency to The Atlantic Center for the Arts, and was a selected artist for 1708 Gallery’s InLight 2022.

S. “Sandy” Nye-Moran’s Watercolor: NOT just a Pretty is a presentation of her watercolor practice. Sandy works “only in watercolor using the basic principles and elements of art in the beginning process of my work. I then move to the unexpected and intuition to develop my paintings beyond what is expected of watercolor.”
