Three artists whose distinct practices—wood, watercolor, and mixed media—offer unique yet complementary explorations of material, process, and expression.

Mary Lewis Chiodo
After a 30-year career in graphic design and art direction, Mary Lewis Chiodo has embarked on a journey to explore the beauty and challenges of watercolor. In Falling Trees/Water Rising, she examines everyday objects through the interplay of light, shadow, and rich, saturated color. Her paintings combine a keen graphic sensibility with the luminous, expressive qualities of watercolor, offering a fresh perspective on familiar subjects.

Christopher Chiodo
Chris is a long time art adjacent enthusiast of the creative world and its characters! The work in Falling Trees/Rising Water is a collection in different mediums representing our textured relationship with the world. The beauty, complexity and challenge of humanity is on display in this exhibit. The assorted photography, collage and sculpture are a canvas for images and objects both found and made. Some old, some new. It was fun to make - ENJOY!

Livia Linden
As an artist & writer, the two aspects of my work often converge. My autofiction, Memory Art, includes images of soft sculpture that inform each chapter. My novel-in-progress, Art the Book, is about a disruption artist whose social practice is crucial to the narrative.
In her recent work, Linden favors materials that are old and scavenged : thrifted clothing, weathered boards, pieces of fallen trees, drift wood.
