Gallery I – John Riggs & Hannah Sandvold: John Riggs and Hannah Sandvold record fluctuating landscapes around the Western United States.

Sandvold uses traditional printmaking techniques to create layered visual journeys, mimicking the experience of moving through natural spaces.
Gallery II – Ginnie Cappaert & Lynne Roark: Ginnie Cappaert and Lynne Roark depict the beauty of natural landscapes, distilling them into their essential elements.

Roark uses aerial photography to capture the abstract beauty of glacial waters, bringing attention to their fragility and disappearance.
