Other People's Oceans by Kate Oberreich
Inspired by the human movement, maps, and the unique ways we travel through life, Kate Oberreich's exhibit, Other People's Oceans, depicts how people find and define home. In this body of work, Oberreich explores journeys through the use of movement with delicate embroidery and beading on paintings and cyanotype printing. This year she boldly stepped into working with recycled tarp - a material in use in many households, that was used as shelter in the refugee camp on Samos, and that mimics sparkling water - creating its own meaning to the subject matter of home.

We hope you stop by and immerse yourselves in this calming and delicate collection. Her show will be on display for the month of March. You can also find it through our online gallery.
Embellish by Caleb Smith The individuals in these photographs each have rich inner-worlds: full of colors, stories, heartbreak, and magic. With the help of local costume designer Stephen Hollenbeck, each was adorned in over-the-top, theatrical apparel that reflects their sense of humor and imagination while telling a surprising story about who they are.
