JULIE ENGLAND ARTIST TALK
Fresh from a month-long artist residency in Vermont, nationally recognized painter Julie England returns to DHV ARTWORKS to discuss her artistic journey, the inspiration behind her luminous botanical paintings, and how her residency experience continues to influence her work.
MEET BRIAN DAVID KERR
Spend the afternoon with acclaimed artist Brian David Kerr, who will be at the gallery to meet one-on-one with collectors and visitors. This informal gathering offers a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Brian's inspiration, creative process, and the stories behind his remarkable paintings.
BOTANICA: Contemporary Voices in Nature-Exhibition Closing
Featuring:
Julie England | Gustavo Novoa | Arthur Fields | Andrea Guay | Deborah Hartigan | Emily Herrera | Brian David Kerr | Janak Narayan | Alicia Parham
DHV ARTWORKS is pleased to present BOTANICA: Contemporary Voices in Nature, a group exhibition exploring the enduring influence of the natural world on contemporary artistic practice.
Bringing together seven artists working across painting, mixed media, installation, and process-based approaches, BOTANICA examines nature not merely as subject matter, but as a dynamic system of growth, transformation, resilience, and exchange. Throughout the exhibition, botanical forms, landscapes, gardens, and organic structures emerge through abstraction, gesture, materiality, and layered narratives that move beyond direct observation.
The artists draw inspiration from cycles of emergence and decay, the tension between cultivation and wildness, and the interconnected relationships that exist between humans and their environments. Leaves, blooms, branches, shifting terrains, and atmospheric phenomena become visual languages through which memory, identity, time, and place are explored.
THE SPACE BETWEEN: Contemporary and Modern Dialogues
Please join DHV ARTWORKS for the opening reception of The Space Between: Modern & Contemporary Dialogues, a group exhibition bringing together artists from Dallas, Austin, Philadelphia, and Scottsdale whose works occupy the space between structure and spontaneity, tradition and experimentation, modernism and contemporary expression.
Working across painting, sculpture, mixed media, and installation, the exhibition explores how contemporary artists continue to reinterpret, challenge, and expand upon the visual languages of modernism. Texture, scale, color, light, movement, and materiality create a layered visual dialogue in which refinement and edge, order and disruption, and beauty and instability coexist.
LIVE DEMONSTRATION WITH ALICIA PARHAM
This promises to be one of the most fascinating events of the exhibition.
Following a significant neurological diagnosis in 2021, interdisciplinary artist Alicia Parham transformed her artistic practice by incorporating neuroscience into her work. Using a bespoke brainwave reading program, Alicia visualizes brain activity in real time, translating alpha, beta, delta, theta, and gamma brainwaves into color, line, form, and composition. These visualizations become the foundation for her striking abstract paintings.
Guests will have the opportunity to experience the process firsthand by participating in the demonstration, seeing their own brainwave patterns visualized in real time, and learning how Alicia transforms these invisible signals into extraordinary contemporary works of art. It is a fascinating intersection of science, technology, and artistic expression—and an experience unlike anything you've likely encountered before.
ARTIST INTERVIEW AND DEMO WITH EMILY HERRERA
Immediately following Janak's talk, contemporary mixed-media artist Emily Herrera will discuss her innovative process of creating layered acrylic works that exist somewhere between painting, sculpture, and installation. Through painted and transparent acrylic panels, Emily constructs luminous botanical compositions that transform as light and the viewer's perspective change. During this special demonstration, you'll gain a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how these immersive works are conceived and assembled.
ARTIST TALK with JANAK NARAYAN
Award-winning artist Janak Narayan creates vibrant contemporary landscapes inspired by the beauty, color, and healing power of nature. Working between abstraction and representation, her paintings celebrate botanical forms through expressive brushwork and luminous color. Join us as Janak shares her artistic journey, discusses her creative process, and explores how the natural world continues to inspire her evolving body of work.
