SUMMARY:Kathryn Williamson - Climate Women
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Kathryn Williamson which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from July 16 – September 20\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 20 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nI believe that healing the climate is connected with healing ourselves\, which includes listening to those small seeds of yearning we have\, to share ourselves and live out loud from our passions. I always loved astrophysics and art\, and the climate crisis asks me to bring both the scientific and artistic parts of myself forward to be more whole. I’ve spent much of the last decade as an academic\, an astronomy educator\, hardly painting at all. This “Climate Women” series is a gift to myself. It has accompanied a larger shift in my life of transitioning from academia to independent consulting\, from frantic rushing to being more intentional with my time\, and from following rigid perceptions of what a “professional” does to listening more to the messy\, creative parts of myself. Painting these women while listening to recordings of them speaking on stage or in interviews has become a meditation practice for me to listen\, learn\, create\, and connect. \nI originally started this series by painting authors from the book All We Can Save\, but since the book has about fifty authors\, I started to bounce around. In no particular order\, I just followed my whims for topics that caught my eye. I expanded to women I know personally and/or learned about through other efforts. I have many more portraits I’d like to paint\, and I made more paintings for this series than I’m sharing in public. This is for a few important reasons. The first has to do with consent. A big part of this effort is the practice of respect and reciprocity. I vowed from the beginning that I would only display the paintings if I received explicit permission. There are a handful of women I painted who I was not able to reach\, and it was not for lack of trying! For example\, I can see that a few of the women are extremely busy taking brave actions\, and after brief attempts to contact them\, I thought it might be best to just let them be so they can focus. Others seem to have totally disappeared from contact. It gives me a sinking feeling. I wonder\, why? Did their activism bring them into harm’s way? Are they okay? There is only one painting where I got an explicit “not at this time” response. There is also one painting that is just bad; I’m too embarrassed to share it with anyone. It was one of the first ones I started\, and I could feel myself rushing\, trying to “accomplish” the big task ahead. I keep it as a reminder to take my time and prioritize investing in process and quality. Then there are the paintings where I did invest careful attention to detail\, and I’m very proud of the resulting quality\, and I still couldn’t reach the woman depicted\, so I sit with that feeling of not getting what I thought I wanted\, without getting that external validation. And that\, too\, is a learning practice for me. \nThis collection is not at all representative of the many women who show up to help make a better world. In general\, compared to men\, women are more likely to recognize climate change as a serious problem\, more concerned global climate change will harm them personally\, and believe that people will have to make major lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of global climate change (Pew Research Global Attitudes Survey 2015). While women suffer disproportionately from resource scarcity and natural disasters resulting from climate change\, women also hold significant community and ecological knowledge\, can mobilize households\, and can safeguard health measures such as sanitation and forest regeneration. This is why gender equity is listed as one of the key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nWhether you are inspired by the women featured in this collection\, other women helping their communities\, and/or all the awesome non-women activists out there helping to envision and generate a healthy\, equitable\, and sustainable future\, I hope you find your unique role in the climate movement. We need everyone. We need you! \nOriginal paintings are not for sale. See ursagaia.com if you would like to purchase a 18×24-inch mosaic poster print of the collection. Proceeds will be donated to the All We Can Save Project. \n

SUMMARY:Paul Cordes Wilm - Our Divided Circus
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Paul Cordes Wilm which will be on view in the First Floor Main Gallery from July 16 – September 20\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 20 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nPaul Cordes Wilm is a Southern artist and musician\, born and raised in (Theodore) Alabama. He currently lives in Birmingham.  \nEqually influenced by abstract expressionist Robert Rauschenberg and (Alabama folk artist) Mose Tolliver\, the bright house paint colors (a good-natured nod to the artist’s red/green colorblindness)\, bold ink lines\, satirical juxtapositions\, subtle social commentary and sharp sense of humor all make Paul Cordes Wilm’s “Folk-Pop” paintings on found wood instantly recognizable.  \nHis latest series\, Our Divided Circus attempts to paint a subconscious portrait of these strange\, chaotic and unpredictable times we’re experiencing.  \nThis exhibit was inspired by : \nautomatism\, bingo cards (Mexican)\, climate change\, dreams (half-remembered)\, early morning birdsong\, freeform radio\, geography\, Halloween\, intuition\, jigsaw puzzles\, kitchen conversations\, language\, Musique Concrete\, night\, the occult\, politics (current)\, questioning\, road trips\, spirits\, transformation\, uncertainty\, vernacular\, wood (patterns)\,   X (generation)\, the Year of the Snake\, zoo cages \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nathan Husser - Conditions for Progress
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Nathan Husser which will be on view in the First Floor West Gallery from July 16 – September 20\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 20 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nConditions for Progress is a multimedia solo exhibition containing sculptures made from plaster\, glass\, cheesecloth\, wood and more. This exhibition is a body of work reflecting on the presence and importance of the physicality held in objects.These altered and re-contextualized forms represent the dense honesty three dimensions can have\, while simultaneously being multifaceted conceptually. Conditions for Progress is an inside look into how as an artist\, I know to process and reimagine life beyond the language I speak and represent it in sculpture. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nMy name is Nate Husser from Madison\, Alabama. I am a 2025 Graduate from the University of North Alabama where I majored in Sculpture. I have been practicing and creating in different mediums of art from photography\, filmmaking\, to collage the last 10 years of my life. Sculpture has taken over as my main form of creative expression and fascination. With my sculpture I am able to create\, replicate\, and alter different forms to change or elevate their meaning. This being said\, I consider myself a conceptual artist. I am always questioning and trying to derive new meaning from my surroundings.  \n

SUMMARY:Liz Onken - Tea in Istanbul
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Liz Onken which will be on view in the Third Floor West Gallery from July 16 – September 20\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 20 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nTea in Istanbul is a visual diary—an abstracted love letter to a city that overwhelmed my senses and opened my eyes. This collection reflects on my time as a foreign painter immersed in the rich\, layered world of Istanbul: a place where ancient empires meet modern rhythms\, and where every street corner holds a burst of color\, scent\, or sound. \nThrough vibrant palettes\, textured surfaces\, and dynamic forms\, these works capture the chaos and cohesion of a city alive with history and daily ritual. From the deep reds of street-side spices to the pastel shimmer of tile mosaics\, from the tangled geometry of architecture to the soft intimacy of sharing tea\, each piece is a translation of sensory experience into visual language. \nThe paintings shift between representation and abstraction\, reflecting how I navigated this unfamiliar city—sometimes clearly\, sometimes intuitively. Wandering through Istanbul felt like moving through a living mosaic\, a patchwork of empires and cultures\, where cats nap beside centuries-old ruins and the scent of baklava drifts past contemporary storefronts. \nAt the heart of it all: tea. A moment of stillness and warmth amid the movement. This show is a meditation on discovery\, observation\, and the beauty of getting lost. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nLiz Onken is an abstract expressionist painter based in Huntsville\, Alabama. She earned her BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in painting and drawing from Auburn University and continued her studies in Rome\, where she deepened her understanding of art history and traditional techniques. \nNamed Emerging Artist of the Year in 2018 by World Art Collector magazine\, Liz is known for her bold abstract paintings\, as well as her mixed media and textile-based works. Her art has been exhibited in galleries across the United States and abroad. \nAfter years of working and studying in other cities\, Liz is excited to return to her hometown\, where she continues to create and exhibit work inspired by both her Southern roots and international experiences. \n  \n
