ALLIE REGAN DICKERSON:
THIS IS HOW WE REMEMBER

April 26, 2025 through May 10, 2025.

This exhibition includes new mixed-media works that combine oil, collage, and embroidery on linen. Each piece, through layering and removal, holds together an uneasy balance between memory, erasure, and repair.

Dickerson’s process was developed in response to the writings of Martín Prechtel, particularly his exploration of grief within the Mayan Tzutujil tradition. Grief is a necessary ritual act that honors what has been lost by praising it through expression. Prechtel writes that in the Mayan language, to grieve is to praise, and to praise is to keep the dead alive in spirit.

Terra and Bloom
Kerri Menchaca and Alonsa Guevara

March 29, 2025 – May 31, 2025

“Terra and Bloom” brings together the unique works of oil painters Kerri Menchaca and Alonsa Guevara, both of whom explore the deep connection between humanity and the natural world through their art. Menchaca, a Texas native, draws inspiration from the rugged landscapes of rural Texas, capturing the fleeting beauty of its vast terrain. Her paintings, grounded in realism, evoke the serene essence of the state’s untouched natural beauty. Guevara’s vibrant fruit still lifes, inspired by her childhood in the Ecuadorian rainforest, blend fantasy and reality, creating a vivid world where nature’s beauty and humanity’s emotional ties are intertwined. Together, their works evoke a powerful, shared reverence for nature’s beauty and fragility.
