Strength in Motion by Johnson Simon & ROSEY |
For the month of May, Speck Gallery will be exhibiting Johnson Simon and ROSEY's paintings. May is mental health awareness month, and this show, Strength In Motion, seeks to shed light on the barriers Simon and Rosey face individually and how art can help them work through them.
For Simon, who was born with a physical disability, art is a way of expressing movement. For ROSEY, who struggles with anxiety, depression, and OCD, his work is a way of distracting himself from what is going on in his internal world.

Celebrate the month of May with Process & Play |
Come see JD Bills's most recent body of work, Process and Play, now on display in the City Gallery. This exhibit explores a range of ideas, materials, and approaches that all reflect the joy and risk of Bills's creative process.
At its core, Process & Play is about showing up. It's about tuning in to the creative impulse, staying open, and trusting that the act of making—without guarantees or outcomes—is enough. This collection is all about Bills exploring freely and figuring out what comes next for his art.
