Defense Mechanisms by Neal Gwaltney Step into the main gallery and experience A Mutual Core by Neal Gwaltney.

Join us and immerse yourself in the world of flux and transformation that Gwaltney has created.

Suggestion by Association by Daniel Bice Join us in the Corner Gallery to discover the hidden stories within still life paintings by Daniel Bice. Bice's paintings are a celebration of the beauty of everyday objects, depicted through his moving brushstrokes. His interest lies in the stories that can be told through these objects without actually saying it. Through the association of objects, his paintings suggest a range of stories that are waiting to be discovered. What is just outside of the frame? Who put these things here and why? These are some of the questions that can be explored and answered while admiring Bice's work.
