Julia Lucey: Good Neighbors
March 7-April 4, 2026

Good Neighbors will be our 5th solo show with printmaker and mixed media artist Julia Lucey. A deceivingly playful body of work, the eye is drawn to the bright colors and intricate details of Lucey's craft, but the underlying messages reference the serious issues facing wildlife and the environment today . Living on the wooded edges of the Bay Area, Lucey depicts a crossroads where the wild and domestic meet. Her pieces are bisected with fences, cages and walls, showing how we attempt to enjoy—yet safeguard ourselves from—our native neighbors. This encroachment has repercussions and muddles our conception of what belongs and what does not. Despite the challenges, Lucey's work evokes a sense of hope that we can learn to be better stewards of what we—and they—call home.

Patrick Puckett: Solo Show
May 9-31, 2026

Opening reception on Saturday, May 9 from 6 to 8pm

Known for his assertive brushstrokes and bold, expressive color, Puckett creates commanding paintings that balance stillness with underlying energy. His figures often appear at rest, yet their environments pulse with vibrancy and movement. Through direct eye contact and dynamic settings, his subjects project a quiet confidence and inner vitality. Each figure embodies a sense of self-assurance that mirrors the artist’s unapologetic and decisive painting technique.

Puckett’s work draws from a life lived in the American South, resulting in visual compositions that feel both personal and inventive. His paintings are not direct representations, but rather carefully constructed interpretations shaped by memory, place, and experience.

Puckett earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2002, where he studied under professor James Meade. He currently lives and works in Jackson, Mississippi.

This exhibition marks a continued and significant relationship between the artist and the gallery, highlighting the evolution of Puckett’s distinctive voice in contemporary figurative painting.
