New Gamut Gallery Exhibit, Ebb & Flow, Opens May 2
Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 11:55AM
This spring, Gamut Gallery invites you to sink into the natural rhythm of the season with Ebb & Flow, a multimedia group exhibition curated by Gallery Director Francesca Bernardi. With a focus on abstraction and organic materiality, Ebb & Flow captures the quiet pulse of nature through organic movement, repetition, and an earthy palette. This group exhibition brings together 10 local artists working in abstraction across painting, mixed media, and foraged and found materials, with works infused with the textures and tones of umber, indigo, moss, and ochre. Featuring acrylics, oils, natural dyes, wood, sculpture and textile works.
Featured Artists: Allison Johanson, Annie Hejny, Emily Donovan, Gregory Euclide, Halle Rittgers, Melinda Wolff, Rachelle Netland, Reed Moraine Ross, Sandra Felemovicius, Three Circle Shop
Join Gamut Gallery for a lively opening night celebration on Friday, May 2, featuring music by DJ Earth G Koreen and perhaps bring a piece of this energy home with you.

Following the high-energy brilliance of Refracted Ecologies, this exhibition offers a grounding contrast: a return to soil, water, wood, and air. Bernardi shares, “This year, we’ve been following our joy in the curatorial process—starting with Jonathan Thunder’s Sovereignty of Joy, then moving into the colorful burst of Refracted Ecologies. With Ebb & Flow, I felt called to explore nature from a more subdued, textural lens, through moss, umber, indigo, ochre, budding flowers, melting snow, and flowing water. These tones bring me peace. They remind me to breathe.”
From meditative gestures to experimental forms, each piece invites viewers to consider the interplay of color and form as a reflection of nature’s power.
The exhibition came together organically through studio visits and conversations with the artists. Emily Donovan and Melinda Wolff are both creating new works for the show. Annie Hejny returns with her signature water-infused process, and we are delighted to feature floral abstractionist Allison Johanson, whose vibrant pieces offer a fresh take on seasonal transformation.
Join Gamut Gallery on Thursday, May 22, for an engaging artist panel discussion with Annie Hejny, Emily Donovan, and Allison Johanson.
Also featured will be Ghost Shepherd, a powerful sculptural work by the visionary collective Three Circle Shop, which will make its film debut on May 10. Additionaly, two textile pieces from Three Circle Shop will be on view, weaving their collaborative, nature-based practice into the heart of the show.
Ebb & Flow also includes work by the iconic Gregory Euclide, whose lush, figurative landscapes blur the line between painting and environment. We’re thrilled to welcome new-to-Gamut artist Reed Morraine Ross, whose bold abstract compositions evoke cycles of transformation. Rachelle Netland’s whimsical, life-filled landscapes and Sandra Felemovicius’ sweeping paintings alive with vibrant hues of yellow, green, and periwinkle bring both emotional and chromatic depth. Finally, Halle Rittger’s gestural, balanced paintings offer meditations on movement, stillness, and growth.
Together, these artists form a stellar lineup united by a shared reverence for the earth and its ever-changing states. Ebb & Flow is a tribute to the textures and rhythms that ground us.
