THIS TWO MONTH LONG SOLO EXHIBIT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE GALLERY FEATURING A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PERSPECTIVE OF PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY DENISE DEMBY. THE ARTIST AND GALLERY OWNER INVITES THE VIEWER TO EXPLORE THE BROAD RANGE OF ABSTRACT WORK FROM BOLD EXPRESSION TO REDUCED SIMPLICITY, REFLECTING THE ARTIST’S JOURNEY ON A QUEST TO ASK HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH AND HOW LITTLE IS TOO LITTLE.

My work delves into the concepts of Order, Entropy, and Time, treating them as living forces beyond our control. Though abstract, these images hold deep personal meaning and serve as a meditative process, reflecting on the cycle of life and the universe’s natural order. I hope viewers find their own journey through the balance, tension, and texture within the lines, stepping away from social norms to connect with the simple elegance of a point, line, or circle.

By exploring these shapes, I aim to create a space where everyone can find their place of rest in the complexity of life. The background and negative space in my drawings are just as important as the visible lines, helping to frame and define the work. This balance between structure and open space creates an intimate area for the viewer to reflect and meditate, providing a moment of calm in an otherwise chaotic world. My goal is to offer a welcoming space for personal discovery and peace.

Shifting Paradigms, Journey into the subconscious and another kind of ancient order

As a sculptor and painter, Denise Demby is continually exploring new ways to add new materials and elements to the work. This series includes glass, steel, wood and light in combinations that delight the senses. With guest artist Craig Robb , explore light as element and subject.

Experience a unique artistic collaboration at our upcoming exhibition. Judy Doherty, abstract watercolorist, and Deborah Carlson, a glass artist, have joined forces to create a non-traditional, contemporary exhibit. They've blended their ideas and philosophies from two different traditional media into one cohesive thought. Bustin’ Out 1 focuses on finding common themes, styles, or narratives that unite their pieces. Bustin’ Out 2 is a joint project where they've curated their works together to enhance the overall experience for the viewers. This exhibition is a testament to the power of communication and compromise in maintaining coherence while still allowing each artist’s unique voice to shine through.
