Mercy Hawkins:
Waltz of Life & Limb
October 3 – November 6, 2026
Reception: October 9, 6-9 PM
Artist Talk: Saturday, October 17, 2-3:30 PM
Waltz of Life & Limb pairs recent sculptural paintings by artist Mercy Hawkins, with her vibrant, large-scale watercolors on paper. With this work, Hawkins seeks to answer the internal call, to encounter what the body already knows, from our own inner rhythms, heartbeat, and breath, to dancing with wild arms. Her biomorphic shapes, formed of intersecting dots, dashes, and lines, speak to a sensory play of color, light, and movement. Her imagery evokes seed pods, flower buds, or microscopic creatures, immersing the viewer in an all-encompassing perception of nature.
This exhibit is sponsored by HF Richardson.
