“Give Thanks, Give Back” by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.
“Davia” by Davia Deplanche
Davia Deplanche's Davia will be on display in the Gallery's Atrium from September 2025 through January 2026. Pictured: "Phantom of the Opera Dress Rehearsal" by Davia

“The Color of Light” presented the The Gallery
The Color of Light is about how we see. Without light, we would see nothing, and most of the time, we think about what light allows us to see! But what happens when you look at the work of Joaquín Sorolla and John Singer Sargent? Both are masters of light, capturing its intense, fleeting effects” […]

“Metamorphosis on Seeing Surreally” by Kevin Cook
Metamorphosis explores the surreal terrain of the subconscious mind, where imagination outweighs knowledge and perception is freed from logic and reason. Seen through the artist’s eyes, reality is radically reconfigured, and meaning is fully open to interpretation.
“Quilt Journey: Threads & Connections” by Cheryl Yellowhawk
Quilt Journey: Threads of Connection by Cheryl Yellowhawk explores the star quilt as both a visual structure and a living story.
“Paradox” by Mike King
Abstract painting, unlike narrative or realistic work, does not tell a story. It just “IS.” One should look at the big picture first before dismissing the work. The art may be so surreal, strange, and mysterious that it is unknowable, but that's OK. That’s why it's called ART.
“Here and There” by Willow Wright
Here and There displays a variety of landscapes that have intrigued me in the past several years in my travels up the coast of the U.S., along the coast of Portugal, near Tavira, and in and around the Tampa Bay area.
