Painter Frances McCormack and interdisciplinary artist Miya Hannan will surprise you with their enigmatic explorations of the earth and human fate.

McCormack’s paintings remain rooted in the natural world but she expands her practice to include collage, creating apparitions filtered through the lens of the marvelous.

My images describe an interior theater where the relationship of energy to limitation unfolds in a drama that eagerly invites the viewer’s participation and interpretation. –Frances McCormack

Hannan’s work, influenced by Asian death philosophy and rituals, as well as by her scientific education, evokes her view of the world as the layers and linkages of human lives and histories.

My work depicts my view of death as another form of being alive. –Miya Hannan

Curiosity drives both artists to continuously discover and challenge.
