SELECTED ARTWORKS

Sarah Renzi Sanders

"My paintings are deeply tied to memories of complex emotions as well as a connection to nature. I believe we can heal ourselves by going back to childhood, exploring times of vulnerability but also finding what brought us joy."

Raisa Nosova

"To me the word Garden is reminiscent of the idea of abundance. And Nostalgia perhaps resides in the subconscious. "

Gina Ariko

"As someone very aware of all the ways I didn't belong growing up, I create that sense of peaceful belonging in my art. It makes me think of how stepping into a garden invites you to reconnect with nature's beauty."

Juliet Martin

"When you leave the apartment, I am afraid you won’t come back. I am making portraits of my household items, memories that can be touched. The loveseat doesn’t replace you, it is a reminder of you."
