Join us this Friday from 5–9 PM for the closing reception of Into The Calm, a solo exhibition by CIA alumna Lauren Scacchi.
Drawing inspiration from the brilliance and interconnectedness of the natural world, Scacchi’s paintings employ soft organic forms and a restrained palette to create spaces of reflection and stillness. Into The Calm invites viewers to pause amidst the rhythms of daily life, reconnect with nature, and experience the quiet beauty of simply being present.

“Meeting of the Waters”
| Mark Krieger Studio | Suite 219 | |
It is rare to have a title at the start of an abstract painting, instead of having one emerge with the image.
This will have the name of an Irish song with a lyric that embraces nature, friendship and eternity, set to a simple tune that is pure genius, an idea too lovely to pass up, so now begins the painting.
