A Fresh New Perspective
Current Exhibitions
Dreamscapes
Benjy Russell
Benjy Russell is a self-taught Choctaw artist originally from Oklahoma, and for the last 18 years he’s made his home in rural Tennessee. Dreamscapes brings together work made over the last 16 years created and photographed at and around his home. Using sculpture, mirrors, light, and practical in-camera effects, Russell transforms familiar places into spaces of wonder, inviting viewers to experience the natural world through a lens of magic and possibility.
The Shapes of Horses
Brandon Owen
Join adventurous artist Brandon Owen in the art of letting go—of perfection, of overthinking, of control—and see first-hand what happens when we allow ourselves to work more freely. Known for his pop lens on the untamed beauty of the American West, in this striking exhibition of abstract paintings, the horse is a starting point, but what emerges is something more personal.
Arrangements
Amanda Nolan
Amanda Nolan is a painter based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her work explores how moments leave traces—shaping and reshaping over time. Using nostalgia as a lens, Amanda intuitively paints from memory, focusing on the interplay between stillness and transformation. Her ongoing series, Arrangements, draws on the iconography of flowers and features them as stand-ins for people, places, and memories. Through the delicate, layered textures of her paintings, Amanda evokes feelings of presence, absence, and the passage of time.
Paper Portals
Emily Holt
Emily Holt’s work draws inspiration from the pop-up book technique known as the tunnel book. Each layered paper construction invites viewers to peer through cut-out windows, revealing new scenes and details with every glance. This process of looking through successive frames creates a sense of motion and discovery, guiding the viewer toward a final destination on the last page. The journey evokes the feeling of traveling through a dreamscape—passing under bridges, through passageways, and across rivers—where movement and imagination merge into a single, unfolding narrative.
