White Noise: New Works by C.Pyle
In the White Noise Collection, Pyle explores the complexities of color and texture while limiting her color palette to tones of white. A self-taught abstract artist, Pyle gives her emotions a clear voice, allowing pain and brokenness to be articulated through beauty. After a near-fatal car accident devastated her life, she turned to art as a form of physical and cognitive therapy. C. Pyle’s inspirational journey of healing, exploration, and discovery affirms the significance of creativity as a form of wellness.

Interwoven: Artworks by Austen Brantley and Susan Tennant
Interwoven brought together two artists—Austen Brantley of Detroit, MI and Susan Tennant of Indianapolis, IN—whose distinct sculptural practices explored the boundaries that shape our realities and the threads that connect us all.
Together, Brantley and Tennant created a visual dialogue that questioned divisions—cultural, spatial, and psychological—and invited reflection on how we might foster deeper harmony and community.
