Molly Smith
In Path, Molly Smith inverts the logic of the daytime landscape, with tree trunks emerging ghost-like from a deep charcoal wash and the tree canopy silhouetted against the blue sky. Holding a tension between the intricate detail of leaves and branches and the abstract wash of the forest floor, the painting holds the mystery of the moment before full darkness.

Exhibitions
Strawberry Moon, named for June’s first full moon and the wild strawberry harvest, presents recent work by Christy Gast, Fabienne Lasserre, Halsey Rodman, and Molly Smith, exploring bodies, landscape, desire, and the scales of time.
Vernal explores how artists return to the natural world as a site where memory, meaning, and material change converge. Featuring work by eleven artists, the exhibition asks us to reconsider the landscape in this moment of climate disruption, where reverence and reckoning coexist.
