Opening: Friday, October 11, 5 – 9 pm

Eleana Grace Daniel is an American oil painter whose work navigates the delicate balance between abstraction and representation, focusing on themes of landscape. A recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an MFA earned in May 2024, Eleana’s paintings explore control and trust, using abstraction as a flexible medium to express the unnamable and ineffable.
Emily Schroeder Willis is renowned for her tactile ceramic vessels, which serve as metaphors for her personal experiences and reflections on the world. Through her artistic process, she captures mythical stories, questions, and the dualities of hope and fear. Emily’s work delves into the discord and tension generated by the peculiarities of singular objects.
