DIRECTOR, CHEVY

I have been fortunate to be a part of the gallery family for over 20 years. One of my favorite things is watching someone’s face light up when a piece really speaks to them. Every artist is telling us a story and it still excites me when the connection is made.

WHAT OUR TEAM IS loving

LAURA CHEVY CHASE

De la Torre’s works remind us that life is full of color! I love the rich hues and how he works with thread to reintroduce color to a space where it had previously been removed. De la Torre’s works are hopeful, colorful and masterful!

De la Torre, POEMES CXII, Mixed Media on Canvas

JENNA BALTIMORE

Simón’s ability to capture tranquility and energetic movement in the same painting is so exciting to experience. Although abstract, her work always feels so personal and recognizable.

Simon, Blue Moment I, Mixed Media on Canvas

This piece by Christopher Peter has a very playful quality and draws you in with the patterned, handmade papers combined with layered paint.

PATTI HAVERFORD

Peter, Swing Silhouettes, Mixed Media on Canvas

Hunt Slonem captures the personality of bunnies, butterflies and birds through his brush strokes, texture, and technique. His neo-expressionist style reminds me of Warhol, and is something you need to see in person to believe!
