On view: The Bag Ladies Series
I've always been captivated by the charm of doll clothes—the tiny details, the nostalgia, the sense of play. Recently, I stumbled upon a box of vintage Barbie and doll clothing at an antique store. Around the same time, I was given a collection of discarded fabric swatches from an interior designer. Inspired by the textures, patterns, and whimsical possibilities, I began assembling a series of quirky, spirited women.
The Bag Ladies Series is a celebration of found objects, imagination, and reinvention. I hope you enjoy meeting these ladies as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Jenniffer Omaitz
Painting can be an expansive practice, sensitive yet violent, temporal, contemplative,
bold and transformative. As a process it can move both fast and slow, be impatient yet kind, be tense and poetic—all the while performing a crafted cadence of oppositions. In my work layers of paint are exposed so the viewer can see a delicate unraveling of documentation and process. These layers look gestural, architectonic, and graphic.
They are a collection of influences, passages, and intersections.

New Artist: We are the Good Weird
Haley Steinhardt
Artist Statement: I'm Haley and I create handmade jewelry from a wide variety of upcycled materials, transforming old into new and giving renewed purpose to pieces and parts previously dedicated to other often-unrelated aspects of life.
