Celebrating Life in Stories: Julia Zollman Wickes |
Julia Zollman Wickes—I Am a Storyteller is a retrospective celebrating the life and work of Julia Zollman Wickes, who passed away last year.
People feature most prominently in Wickes' work: a diverse group of ordinary people with unique backgrounds, of which her paintings merely hint. Julia had a rare gift for seeing people fully, honoring the dignity and joy in ordinary moments with dynamic colors and a focus on storytelling. We’re grateful she was part of our community, and her memory will continue to live through her work and the lives she touched.

Enter a Dynamic World by William Minion |
Hank and Dolly's gallery is showing the versatile work of William Minion, who is exploring new thresholds as an artist. Minion's work has primarily been highly realistic, using graphite to meticulously observe people's likenesses through portraiture. Recently, Minion has been challenging himself through large-scale murals in bright colors with a loose and atmospheric quality.
"Right now I carry two primary artistic modes at the same time," says Minion. "Creatively, I'm in a converging space. Realism taught me to observe people with patience and empathy, seeing value in the overlooked. The murals push me toward gesture, risk, imperfection, and storytelling."
