This event has ended.

In her new series of paintings, Meghan Petras explores a realm of uncertain narratives, a place where nostalgia and memory blur one’s perception of reality, converging the senses and exciting the psyche with organic undulations and magical mysteries. While many of the paintings are derived from the natural world, they are painted from the mind's eye of the artist, in her studio.

Together, Meghan Petras’ paintings form a meandering labyrinth of imagery, functioning independently, yet vibrating and flourishing off of each other’s indeterminable fate.

They ponder on a romantic and fabled notion of our everyday, encounters that might have occurred a minute ago, a decade ago, or merely in our fantasies. The randomness and non-specificity emanating from each work lends itself to building paths with various psychological trajectories. None latch to a specific time or place; each object is ambivalent and isolated in its environment and shares the uncertainty and vulnerability with the viewer.
