Harmony & Chaos examines the interplay between order and disorder, revealing how balance and structure can exist alongside unpredictability and change. Through diverse materials, processes, and perspectives, the artists in this exhibition explore the dynamic tension between these seemingly opposing forces. Their works highlight moments where disruption gives way to beauty, growth, and unexpected connections. Together, they suggest that harmony is not the absence of chaos, but a state that exists alongside it.

Out of a national pool of talent, my piece was chosen to stand alongside an incredible lineup of contemporary artists:

Tanner Bosma, Walter Brown, Patricia Dattoma, Maria Dusamp, Cynthia Egle, Sally Gil, Robin Glassman, Yen Ha, Linda Hacker, Gosha Karpowicz, Herry Koo, Oxana Kovalchuk, Melissa Kraft, Jessica Krause Smith, Carin Kulb Dangot, Alise Loebelsohn, Jo-Ann Acey, Carol Morrison, Emily Mueller, Carol Paik, Swati Patel, Leo Pontius, Sonia Redfern, Joan Reutershan, Charles Seplowin, Amy Shaw, Roni Sherman Ramos, Claudia Shi, Sam Smouha, Joanne Steinhardt, Suzanne Kathaleen Stroebe, Fleur Thesmar
