Jordan Acker Anderson: Sing Many Songs
Annex Gallery
Reception: February 5, 6 – 7:30 pm, Annex Gallery
Jordan Acker Anderson creates paintings that develop from intuitive actions and interpretations of observations drawn from daily life. Her painting practice is a meditative act, grounded in mindfulness. The process is an act of discovery and the result is an accumulation of mark, memory, and symbolism. She transforms unruly information into beautiful states of order and interconnectedness. Her paintings reflect on our impermanence in the world.

Brian Kluge and Rachelle Miller: Scratching the Surface
Allen Priebe Gallery
Artists Talks: March 4, 5 – 6 pm
Reception: March 4, 6 – 7:30 pm, Allen Priebe Gallery
Brian Kluge and Rachelle Miller are both ceramicists in the Madison, Wisconsin area.
Brian Kluge creates geometric forms and a palette of ‘basic color’, to create works that are an allusion to artifacts. He uses variations of spheres and cubes, both in whole and in fragment as a starting point and abstracts these to create work that is open-ended in their minimal simplicity. He uses a controlled color palette of red, yellow, green, and blue, the core of a color theory which are the building blocks of all color. Kluge uses a variation of unique clay and surface techniques to create a look that is weathered, giving a sense that the pieces are much older than they actually are.
Rachelle Miller’s ceramic work focuses on organic pattens. She uses texture, color, and layering to create small, individual pieces which when displayed together form a community. Miller uses the potter’s wheel and hand-building techniques to create her work. She also uses printing, etching, layering, and multiple firing methods to achieve the surfaces she desires.
March 12 – April 9, 2026
Laura Pahlas
Annex Gallery
Reception March 12, 6 – 7:30 pm
Laura Pahlas, a Wisconsin-based painter and art educator, who specializes in vibrant oil and mixed media artworks that encapsulate nature’s essence. In her studio Heartwork Studios in downtown Ripon, WI which she co-operates with friend and fellow artist-mom, Carissa Sorensen, Pahals creates large scale oil paintings and smaller scale experimental works on paper. She writes, “I believe art-making is a powerful act of connection that bridges the gaps between us and reminds us of our shared humanity.”
