Local artist Carlo Miranda showcases ten recent paintings in this intimate exhibition featuring hyperrealistic portraits, painted in oil on panel, of those closest to him: his family, his friends, his barber. Together the portraits highlight a vibrant community and invite viewers to develop an empathy toward his subjects or even construct imaginary stories of their lives.Carlo Miranda, "The Barber," 2022.

Modern Women celebrates works of art by monumental women in the art world including Sonia Delaunay, Françoise Gilot, and key Abstract Expressionists Lee Krasner and Elaine de Kooning.

We illuminate these key figures in art history to continue to recognize and, thus, elevate women as leaders in the art world.
