In the Main Gallery: New Year, New Work, features mixed-media artist Stephanie Dickie, experimental enamellist Hannah Voss and contemporary painter Michael Lowe. Stephanie Dickie will be ushering in the New Year with subdued collage meditations that reflect her peaceful spirit (shown right). Michael Lowe, an artist new to the gallery, will present a series of his placid paintings. Hannah Voss introduces an enamel cracking technique using powdery white enamels on top of colored glass, resulting in a mysterious combination akin to the ceramic raku process.

In the Guest Gallery: Africa: The Mother of Us All, features dynamic work from 12 contemporary Kenyan artists. The gallery is proud to introduce internationally lauded artist Beatrice Wanjiku Njoroge, one of the few female artists from Kenya to gain global recognition.
