Ryann Woods Ham -June 2025

Ryann Woods Ham is a New York-based artist who works in painting, printmaking, and ceramics. Trained in graphic design, her entry into fine art emerged through a more intuitive, self-directed practice rooted in observation and personal ritual. Raised in a Latter-day Saint household in Northern California, her work often engages with the quiet mechanics of belief—its cycles, its demands, and the vulnerability it requires. Themes of doubt and devotion, risk and tenderness, surface throughout her practice, reflecting a sensitivity to the emotional logic that underlies human connection and spiritual longing.

Her recent monoprints inhabit a liminal space between memory and imagination—dreamlike scenes formed through spontaneous mark-making and layered impressions. These images retain the ghosts of earlier gestures and are often bound together with pencil or pastel, evoking a sense of emotional residue and narrative ambiguity. Woods Ham is drawn to the interior world of feeling, exploring the way love, desire, and distance shift over time. Her work invites viewers into a contemplative space—tender, unsettled, and deeply internal—where emotions act as both messengers and companions.

Igor Sokol - April / May 2025

Igor Sokol is a New York-based artist working across painting, sculpture, and design. His creative journey began in Rivne, Ukraine, where he grew up solving problems by making things—mending, crafting, and replicating what wasn’t readily available. That hands-on curiosity evolved into a lifelong exploration of form, color, and perception.

After moving to the U.S. in 2008, painting became a way for him to navigate the complexities of cultural duality with nature playing a central role in his process. Its cycles and contrasts—light and shadow, stillness and movement, presence and absence—mirror the emotional rhythms of life. Sokol reduces his subjects to essential forms, stripping away unnecessary detail to leave room for imagination and personal interpretation.

Whether referencing organic structures or architectural elements, he aims to create a quiet space for reflection—an emotional dialogue between the seen and the unseen.
