Learn firsthand the processes, inspiration, and techniques from the Dougherty Arts Center’s current exhibiting artists Mars Woodhill, Darcie Book, and Alicia Philley.

Sleek and modern natural materials are utilized in sculptures, mobiles and wall art as Mars Woodhill explores the Elements of Nature, an idea that has resonated with philosophers, religions and cultures throughout time.

Darcie Book’s Second Sight: A Visual Opera functions as a single artwork, an abstract narrative that unfolds as the viewer-participant moves through the space. In the darkness, in the unknown, we are in a world between dimensions. Inner worlds surface and secret lives are revealed. 

Alicia Philley uses vibrant colors and precisely painted marks to tell stories of our lived environments and their impact on our bodies and minds. Mimicking the complexities of nature through fluttering lines of reflective acrylic paints, Philley alludes to motion, evanescent light, root and fungal networks, and the passage of time. 

All gallery events are free and open to the public.
