Join us for First Friday on April 3rd from 5:30–8:30 p.m. for ‘In Quiet Witness’, a new exhibit of artwork by award-winning artist Marina Richmond. Richmond is a watercolor and ink artist whose work explores themes of silent observation and presence across figures, animals, and landscapes, often focusing on transitions between states: human and nature, life and death, inner and outer worlds, memory and the present. Through luminous color and subtle symbolism, she blends realism with narrative and magical realist elements.
Marina was this year’s first-place winner of DRV Gallery’s annual Art for a Cause, and her new exhibition examines the moments between different states—human and nature, life and death, memory and the present—encouraging a quiet exchange between the subject and the viewer.
Richmond grew up between Taiwan and the United States, and her bilingual and multicultural childhood continues to influence her sensitivity to atmosphere, restraint, and emotional nuance. She holds a BFA in Communications Design with a focus in Illustration from Pratt Institute, which informs her approach to composition and color.
