Artwork

  • Red wall features a small painting of a vase with deep green and white accents at a modern, geometric gallery interior. Inside of walls at the gallery structure are painted deep green.
  • Wooden shelf with sections is mounted on a white wall. The shelf displays three intricately patterned ceramic vessels. Background includes muted fabric with green and navy accents. One section of the shelf is covered with textured glass, containing two ceramic vessels.
  • Six repeated paintings on a neutral colored surface are lined up, each depicting a bottle with different colored backgrounds: blue, gray-green, sage, mustard, pale green, and white. The paintings are installed on a white wall, equally distanced.
  • A blue and beige abstract painting and blue ceramic vessel on top of a narrow, deep blue rectangle podium on a stand against a textured, pale pink wall. On the muted smooth floor of the gallery is a soft shadow of sunshine coming through gridded window.
  • Abstract painting against a pastel pink and mint wall. A vertical green column with a red line down the center stands left, while a framed painting with blue geometric shapes and curves hangs on the right.
  • A large abstract painting with blue, green, and white geometric shapes hangs on a gallery wall. The polished floor reflects the artwork. Nearby and behind the gallery wall is a minimalist black chair against a green accent wall, with soft translucent curtains hanging down the wall to the right.
