Come and see challenging and provocative imagery in the Parker Gallery’s historic loft setting. See artists’ work that creates true synergy, communicating, painting to painting, artist to artist.

The viewer is captivated by similarly pleasing, colorful paintings, yet is led thoughtfully into the creative process, speculating as to the why and how of each artist’s choice to speak in a different expressive language.
