Curated by Chase Dougherty, Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art

“Imagination defies all bounds. The act of imagining can absorb us for a fleeting moment or capture an entire world through its physical creation. It is the critical ingredient of innovation, allowing for new possibilities and progression. We imagine because we are hopeful. We dream because we are eager. Other Pastures highlights four artists who are engaged in manifesting their imaginations based on their realities. These worlds reflect aspects of the artists themselves, allowing us insight into their individual practices.”

Participating Artists: Kiara Florez, Heidi Leitzke, Mike McConnell, Annette Monnier

“Mixed media artist Heidi Leitzke similarly constructs landscapes based on nature, however these inspirations manifest as illustrative, mindful spaces. Snapshots of intimate scenes are overgrown with lush flora that spread and sparkle across her surfaces. While personal to Leitzke, each work feels dreamlike and magically perceptive.”
