South Side Chicago artist David Andrew presents Experiences, a meditation on perspective, power, and the unequal realities shaping American life. His work asks viewers to confront what is often normalized or unseen and to look beyond the comfort of a single lens.
South Side is not a credential but a window on a nation. Though people may share the same events, they do not experience them equally. Andrew’s works invite viewers to reckon with those differences. |

In his debut exhibition, Jack LaForte’s Between Intention and Intuition explores the shifting territory between deliberate action and spontaneous discovery. A conceptual abstract painter and family therapist, LaForte examines oppression not as social or political struggle, but as an internal psychological condition—alongside personal freedom, fear and vitality, ambiguity and clarity. Layers, thresholds, and archetypal forms reveal the unseen forces shaping human experience.

Springfield artist Bella Martinez, a painter, poet, and illustrator, finds quiet mystery in the overlooked places of everyday life. Working from observation, she paints and draws as places change, gathering multiple perspectives into intimate, lived-in experiences. For Martinez, nature is both subject and guide--a place where struggle, transformation, beauty, and mystery reveal truths larger than we can fully understand.

Mid-career Leverett, Massachusetts artist Jacqueline Strauss creates intricately crafted dolls and hand-built ceramic characters that are whimsical, colorful, and quietly profound. Combining fabric with tiny found-object details, her figures inhabit imaginative natural settings and invite both delight and deeper reflection. Beneath their playful surfaces, Strauss’s work seriously engages questions of identity, vulnerability, memory, and the complex inner worlds we carry.
