In the Harrison Gallery,

FINE by Tashema Davis. Tashema Davis had been using the word “FINE” frequently for the past few years, masking the turmoil in her life. After she was diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and anxiety from her military service, Davis embraced painting as a form of therapy. Today, Davis is on a journey to healing and wholeness through therapy, faith, and art. Embracing this new chapter, she incorporates goldfish into her oil and acrylic paintings, letting them freely swim within her creations.

In the Gallery Annex,

Season of the Moon by India Cruse-Griffin. Through her signature style of mixed media collages and “slice of life” paintings, Cruse-Griffin explores the constant guiding force of the Sun and Moon.

In the City Gallery,

Nocturnes by Allen Bannister. Bannister’s latest collection of black and white charcoal drawings featuring night scenes from around Indianapolis showcases the beauty of the city’s trees, clouds, the moon, street lights, and more. Each drawing is a blend of light and shadows, bringing a unique perspective to the nocturnal world.

In the Speck Gallery,

Sola x Luna by Kristi Marsh Watson. In this exhibition, Kristi Marsh Watson employs her abstract style to portray the beauty and allure of the sun and moon. The sun and moon, like paradoxical twins, symbolize both familiarity and mystery while also reflecting the duality of day and night.
