SUMMARY:Denise DeKemper - Dye Hard\, Bloom Anyway
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Denise DeKemper which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 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\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nHope and love are stubborn things—like wildflowers in sidewalk cracks\,  they refuse to quit. My silk paintings embrace this beautiful defiance\, where  hearts stay open\, flowers bloom on their own terms\, and dye does  whatever it pleases. Working with silk and salvaged fibers\, I celebrate  imperfection\, resilience\, and the messy\, unpredictable magic of life. Love  and hope may not follow the rules\, but that’s exactly how they thrive. And  still\, we bloom.  \n  \nAbout the Artist  \nDenise DeKemper grew up in Fayette\, Alabama\, spending her childhood  immersed in books\, nature\, the quiet beauty of her grandparents’ farm— and\, of course\, football. After years out west\, she found her artistic voice in  fiber art\, specifically painting on silk. Now back home in Huntsville\, she  works from her studio at Lowe Mill A&E (Studio 2042)\, where she embraces the  South’s contradictions—its grit and grace\, its hardship and beauty. Guided by the spirit of Dye Hard\, Bloom Anyway\, her work reflects resilience\, transformation\, and the art of finding beauty in the imperfect. \nInstagram \n

SUMMARY:Leslie Wood - Whimsy & Wonder: A Journey Through Color
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Leslie Wood which will be on view in the Third Floor West Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 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\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nMy work is a reflection of emotions\, moods\, and life moments—translated onto canvas and journal pages through bold\, saturated color and whimsical forms. This exhibit is an exploration of playful curiosity and deep feeling\, where abstraction and character-driven narratives coexist. \nIn my abstract pieces\, I explore the raw language of color\, resisting the urge to define form and instead allowing emotion to dictate movement. These works are an exercise in letting go\, trusting intuition\, and embracing the unexpected. \nThe monsters\, on the other hand\, are my way of personifying feelings—quirky\, imperfect beings that carry stories within them. Their origins in upcycled materials reflect my commitment to sustainability and my belief that even discarded things hold creative potential. \nTogether\, these works serve as a visual journal—each piece a marker of time\, energy\, and experience. They invite the viewer to lose themselves in color\, to see stories in the abstract\, and to embrace both the playful and profound within their own imagination. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nLeslie Wood is a mixed media artist from Lacey’s Spring\, Alabama. With a background in aerospace engineering\, she later pursued art\, studying photography\, sculpture\, and pain.ng at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Blending reality and fantasy\, her work often begins in art journals before moving to canvas. She is a regular featured artist in Stampington’s ART Journaling magazine and teaches art journaling workshops online and at the Huntsville Museum of Art. Leslie also serves as the Art Director of Expressions for the mental health nonprofit Little Orange Fish\, using the arts to foster storytelling and self-expression. \n  \nWebsite \nInstagram \nFacebook \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Leanna Leithauser Lesley and Tara Stallworth Lee - Back in Your Own Backyard
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Leanna Leithauser Lesley and Tara Stallworth Lee which will be on view in the North Floor Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 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\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nFrom Birmingham’s historic Industrial Highschool and Huntsville’s famed Alabama A&M to the far reaches of outer space\, “Back in Your Own Backyard” celebrates the music educators\, students and musicians of a rich and influential jazz legacy. An interplanetary melody of original works by Leanna Leithauser Lesley and Tara Stallworth Lee\, the exhibition revolves around the resplendent Sun Ra\, avant-garde performer\, composer\, bandleader and poet. Dare to knock on the door of the cosmos. \n  \nFrom Leanna Leithauser Lesley: \nThough I didn’t know it at the time\, 2006 brought an opportunity that changed the trajectory  of my career as an artist in ways I couldn’t have imagined. After being offered an exhibition at  the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and concerned about the suggested “Jazz” subject  matter\, a meeting with Dr. Frank Adams\, Director of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame\, was  scheduled for me. Following our initial meeting\, Dr. Adams (Doc) proposed that we meet  every week for the entirety of the time I was creating the exhibition. I spent many Tuesday  mornings in Doc’s small office at the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame\, listening to music\, talking  Jazz\, and taking notes. I had been tasked with telling the American Jazz story within the  framework of twenty needlepointed portraits and Doc was helping me reconcile where all the  pieces fit together. Often his broader teachings about Jazz would go off-script as he would  excitedly slide a relatable Birmingham musician into the greater Jazz music story. Doc had  played in Fess Whatley’s Orchestra\, also in Sun Ra’s Sonny Blount Orchestra and for a period  of time\, both simultaneously. He talked about his days as a student at Industrial High School\,  his time playing with Duke Ellington’s Orchestra in New York and his reasons for coming back  to Birmingham. I couldn’t wrap my head around the gift I was being given at the time. I  enjoyed our Tuesday mornings together immensly.  \nThe story that made my heart beat the fastest was the one he told about Duke Ellington\,  Count Basie\, Billie Holiday\, and others taking the Southern Railway\, “Birmingham Special”\,  from New York to New Orleans playing gigs along the way. Upon arrival in Birmingham\,  meetings with Fess Whatley would occur to reveal which students from Industrial High School  might be recommended to perform on the southern most part of the tour with the  orchestras. Fess would have several offerings each time. At the end of the tour the students  would be delivered back to Fess in Birmingham as these great band leaders made their way  back to New York. The future employment of these students was certainly guaranteed. In its  Jazz heyday 20th Century big bands\, orchestras and swing bands were filled with Industrial  High School students turned professional musicians. My hope is\, Doc’s enthusiasm and joy for  his beloved Industrial High School\, this city and the music played here sings throughout this  exhibition.  \nTo my dear mentor I say thank you deeply. On day one\, as I shared concerns about my ability  and my right to tell this Jazz story properly\, you expressly advised that we all have a great  responsibility to keep these stories alive. I hear your voice in mine. In your honor and memory I carry on with my lifelong Jazz education as I create new pieces to add to “our” original  exhibition in 2007.  \nAcknowledgements  \nBirmingham Public Library Archives\, Burgin Mathews\, Metropolitan Youth Orchestras of  Central Alabama. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nLeanna Leithauser Lesley is an avid needlepointer motivated by the power of jazz music\, the perseverance of the civil rights movement and an intention to elevate the perception of needlepoint as an art form through the complexity of stitching portraits.  \nAs a fiber artist\, she is immersed in the idea of weaving together the quiet methodical ways of needlepointing with the often unrestrained methods of jazz music and civil rights. In capturing the drama and emotion of the figure she chooses to stitch\, the finished artwork becomes a distinct freehand homage to the subject of her needlepoint as well as the photographer who took the image. Rejecting the shortcuts of technology\, she relies solely on her training as a visual artist to paint the canvas with yarn using a needle as her brush.  \nLeithauser Lesley has exhibited her distinct portraits in museums\, galleries and cultural art centers throughout the United States. She continues to increase the visibility of resolute individuals who have challenged the world we live in with her unique needlepoints while displaying gratitude for those who came before her. \nWebsite \nInstagram \nFacebook \n  \nFrom Tara Stallworth Lee: \nWith immeasurable gratitude to:  \nLeanna Lesley\, for inviting me on this cosmic journey!  \nDr. Frank Adams\, for sharing your love of jazz with so many.  \nSUN RA\, for expanding my universe and showing me a world of magic and possibility. You are an angel.  \n– TSL \n  \n“IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO THAT IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO.” – SUN RA \n  \nAbout the artist: \nTara Stallworth Lee works across mediums with a concentration in analog photography\, papermaking\, collage\, and textiles. Expansion of human dignity is a central theme throughout all of her work which often serves as a catalyst for reflection and inspired action. In 1992\, Tara received her BS in Psychology with a minor in Art from Birmingham-Southern College. She is the 2021/22 recipient of the Alabama State Council on the Arts Gay Burke Fellowship in Photographic Art and a studio resident at Ground Floor Contemporary. In 2023 she became the inaugural artist in residence at Studio By The Tracks\, a studio and gallery for adult artists with autism. For over two decades\, Tara has been teaching for individuals and institutions\, including The Smithsonian Associates and the Alabama Prison Arts and Education Project. Tara lives and works in Birmingham\, Alabama.  \n  \nWebsite \nInstagram \nFacebook

SUMMARY:Friends of Cattyshack - The Feline Gaze:  Art By & For Cats
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Friends of Cattyshack which will be on view in the First Floor West Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 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\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nIf cats were to experience and interact with art the way humans do\, what would they enjoy seeing? What materials\, tools and techniques would they use to make art? What would they want to see on display in their own homes? What subject matter would inspire them? \nThese may seem like absurd questions\, but they allow us to explore our own imagination and see art in a new way. The works in this show represent several local artists’ answers to just those questions. Each one was asked to imagine what art would look and feel like for cats.  \nAll works will also be up for auction online starting Saturday\, June 14th during our annual event\, Rocket City Kittypalooza. Funds raised will go directly toward caring for Cattyshack’s cats and paying vet bills.  \n  \nContributing Artists: \nCats:\n \nChandler \nMargo \nFancy \nFletcher \nMinnie Pearl \nNemo \nHelena \nFinn \nLitha \nMittens\n \n  \nHumans: \nKimberly Muse \nStephanie Flier @deltadogwoodstudio \nStacy Neuberger \nKaio Chambers @Clownovaa \nCarrie Rice @moonmaidenarts  \n  \n  \nAbout the organizer: \nCattyshack Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of shelter cats in Alabama. We provide food and medical supplies to our foster homes\, as well as pay for all vet care. Our cat lounge\, located right here at Lowe Mill A&E in Studio 1062\, is a resource for fundraising\, socializing our cats\, and increasing adoptions. It is designed to allow humans of all ages to play or relax\, decompress or amp up\, and flat out enjoy cats and kittens that need a forever home. You do not need to be looking for a cat to adopt to come visit\, just come play! Reservations are required. \n  \nWebsite \nFacebook \nInstagram

SUMMARY:Garland Farwell - Stars Fell
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Garland Farwell which will be on view in the Second Floor Connector Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 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\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nStars Fell is part of an ongoing examination of folk art and quilting as visual  narratives. Crafted from salvaged wood and tin\, the works play a role in the  preservation of memory and the acknowledgement of human experiences through  generations. It is an intersection of aesthetics and function.  \nStars Fell references ‘Stars Fell on Alabama’\, a 1934 novel by Carl Carmer about his  experiences living in Alabama as a young transplant from New York. Writing about  the people\, places\, and events he witnessed\, Carmer illuminated the ordinary and  extraordinary of Alabama. Its myths and legends alongside its everyday life. Similarly\, the Stars Fell exhibit pays homage to Alabama in that the raw material of  the work was found here only. Each board and slat bears witness and tells many  stories. It is my hope that the work reflects back the experiences of multitudes.  \n  \nAbout the artist: \nAfter many years working as a theater and puppetry artist in New York City I  journeyed to the Alabama Black Belt to explore Folk Art\, Rural Art\, and Outsider Art.  In this journey I’ve found great inspiration and discovered new creative paths. An  intended two-month stay in rural Alabama has morphed into more than 16 years.  My art practice has transformed to reflect this new environment. By adapting the  practical and humble approach to life and creativity of the people of the rural south\,  my process has become more streamlined and the work\, while encountering its  share of challenges\, flows more effortlessly.  \nWhile art and design traditions such as quilting and hex sign painting are major  influences on my work\, the primary materials of my practice are reclaimed wood\,  rusted metals\, and old house paint.   \nI prioritize natural processes of deterioration and decay\, often weaving in fragments  of the scorched and burned. In this regard\, my function is artist as well as principal  organizer. Climate\, the environment and time are my collaborators\, determining  textures\, tones\, and depth of colors.   \nWebsite \nInstagram \n  \n

Davis’s tree and leaf forms seem to move and twist organically\, reflecting the abundant natural growth present in Alabama. Lane’s focus on tree-lined water edges is more about the memory of a moment by the river than a specific place. Informed by the Transcendentalists\, filtered through a contemporary art point of view\, their shared vision creates a contemplative space for appreciating the natural world. \n  \nAbout the artists: \nLorrie Lane is an oil painter living in Tuscaloosa\, AL. She is the owner of Lorrie Lane Studio\, a fine art studio and gallery located in downtown Tuscaloosa. Lane has been painting and exhibiting for over 30 years. Her work has been featured in numerous group and solo shows in the Southeast. She has been represented by galleries in Alabama\, Tennessee\, Georgia\, Florida\, New York\, and Oregon.

She was a resident studio artist at the Kentuck Art Center in Northport\, AL from 2010 to 2013 and again from 2016 to 2018. \nLane’s most recent solo exhibits include a show at the Columbus\, MS Arts Council Gallery in 2023 and a dual exhibit with sculptor Steve Davis in 2023 at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in Huntsville\, AL. \nLorrie Lane was born in upstate New York in 1961. After graduating from Smith College in 1983\, she and husband Alan moved to Tuscaloosa\, AL. Their daughter Liz Lane carries on the painting profession. Their sons Charles and Sean are also involved in creative endeavors. \nWebsite \nInstagram \nFacebook \n  \nSteve Davis\, born 1951 in Columbus\, OH. Davis earned a B.S. degree from The OhioState University. He’s made objects a good part of his life in a wide variety of media. \nDavis established his studio\, Sunheart Metalworks\, in Northport\, AL in 1993. In his work with metals\, he employs traditional and contemporary metalworking techniques. This work involves passion\, intellect\, and full-force physical input. His pieces range from the sublime to the humorous. Davis enjoys solving the logistical nightmares of large-scale sculptures and public works projects. \nDavis has been a member of the Artist Blacksmith Association of North America since its early days. He is also a member of the Alabama Forge Council. \nInstagram \n

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

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:Kristin Hudson - Everyday Rainbows
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Kristin Hudson which will be on view in the North Floor 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: \nInspired by the sun shining through rainbow window film\, the idea for “Everyday Rainbows” began when I captured pictures of sun painted rainbows across my bathroom sink vanity and evolved into an exploration of color.  \nWhile studying for my art degree\, I discovered my love of color went deeper than the clothes I wore or how I decorated. I began utilizing color to tell a story\, emphasize a design\, or create an emotion. Combining those colors with simple shapes allowed me to think minimally while making a big impact. As I was naturally drawn to bright\, neon\, and iridescent colors\, it steadily became a focus in my art to incorporate eye catching color. \nEvery piece of art you see here is created from just 3 colors: pink\, yellow\, and blue. By limiting myself\, I explored\, experimented\, and showed the versatility of color. It is satisfying to see the way combinations\, layers\, and techniques\, can elicit vastly different reactions. I tried new\, experimental styles of creation with media outside my norm to further explore the opportunities these 3 colors could provide. \nAs you peruse the gallery\, you will see the breadth of opportunity within these 3 colors. Though each start from the same place\, the results can be vastly different.  \n  \nAbout the artist: \nKristin is a Creative Marketing Manager\, Graphic Designer\, and Printmaker. She has a B.A. in History from the University of Louisville and a B.A. in Studio Art/Graphic Design from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. As a Graphic Designer and Marketer\, she gets to create corporate design including brand development\, campaigns\, documents\, software design\, and more. In her personal art\, she focuses on illustration and branding. As a Printmaker\, she primarily works in linoleum\, woodblock\, and screen printing. Kristin has studio 2054 at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment where she is lucky enough to be able to work remotely\, create during off hours\, experiment with all kinds of different art styles/mediums\, and enjoy a community of artists full of encouragement and motivation. \n  \n@kdesignartstudio \nwww.kdesignartstudio.com  \n  \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

SUMMARY:The Eclectic Frog Collective - The Odd\, The Weird\, The Queer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by The Eclectic Frog Collective which will be on view in the Third Floor East 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: \nThe Weird\, The Odd\, The Queer  \nOnce meant to wound\, these words have become a mirror. \nOdd. Weird. Queer. \nI’ve worn them all—and now I wear them with purpose. \nThis exhibit is a meditation on otherness. \nIt asks us to see with new eyes\, to question the boundaries of belonging\, and to find beauty in what defies convention. \nIt holds space for grief and becoming—for memory\, mystery\, and transformation. \nTo be odd is to walk a path all your own. \nTo be weird is to bend the pattern into something new. \nTo be queer is to live truthfully without waiting for permission. \nThe Weird\, The Odd\, The Queer is a tribute to those who came before: the rebels\, the romantics\, the survivors. It is a celebration of queer existence in all its complexity\, and a call to Resist\, Remember & Rise.  \n  \n About the Artists: \nThe Eclectic Frog Collective is a queer-led group of Southern artists who explore themes of transformation\, resistance\, and survival through mixed media\, sculpture\, photography\, installation\, and performance. \nLed by Aaron Kilgore—from Studio RR5A at Lowe Mill A&E\, the collective blends political urgency with honest personal stories. Their work invites you to see the beauty that grows on the margins. \n  \n
