Reception and artist talk: June 7th 2-4pm

Art Elements Gallery is delighted to present Rest to Sustain, a compelling exhibition featuring the work of Oregon artists Marilyn Higginson and Carol Horvath. Through oil painting, Marilyn Higginson reflects on the ceaseless and immutable characteristic of nature and its effect on the human spirit, weaving themes of time, renewal, and regeneration into her work. Her pieces invite viewers to consider the restorative power of nature, and the quiet strength found in reflection. In contrast, Carol Horvath works directly with nature itself, using the willow tree as both medium and muse. Her art speaks to the interconnectedness of community, inspired by the willow’s graceful form and symbolic strength. Through her exploration, she captures how nature can shelter, connect, and sustain us. Together, these two artistic voices create a harmonious dialogue. This show touches on both rest and growth, winter and summer, balance and contrast. We invite you to experience Rest to Sustain now on display at Art Elements Gallery.
