March 7th from 5-8pm

Lost and Found is a collection born from Judy McSween's discoveries made during recent road trips and the lingering joy that remains long after each journey ends.

Promising

Sowing the Seeds

Retrieval

Cultivate Compassion

"This collection, inspired by the Oxford definition — 'a place where lost items are stored to await retrieval by their owners' — reflects the essence of my newest work. These paintings bring to light experiences tucked away in memory, some completely forgotten until awakened by one of the senses".

~Judy McSween

Field of Dreams

Over, Under, Into

Take the Back Roads

Just Passing Through

"Through an interplay of light, color, and line, I explore the chaos and uncertainty of being lost and the thrill of 'finding' -- not just places, but emotions and moments we may not have even realized we were missing".

~ Judy McSween

Meet the Artist

Judy McSween

McSween’s paintings transcend ordinary perspectives, transporting viewers to dreamlike places. She works from realism, taking an image and deconstructing the composition into sweeping curves of color, unexpected angles, and smooth planes. Painting lines and scraping through layers of color to find pathways, arteries or roots, she leads viewers through her paintings to spaces infused with light and joy. That light— just beyond the horizon, spilling into a field, or captured for a split second along an edge, is McSween’s signature.

We look forward to seeing you.
