The Tiny Show returns to the Pence, celebrating local and regional artists who have created work at a smaller scale. Continuing in the spirit of our last Tiny Show, which was held in 2023, this exhibit highlights the enormous talent behind tiny works of art. From pocket-size paintings to delicate sculptures, every work of art encourages the viewer to take the time to look closer and discover the incredible details and imagination of small-scale artistry.

Garden Tour Landscapes:
Stairway Exhibit
May 23 – June 27, 2025
Reception: June 13, 6-9 PM
As an essential part of our Garden Tour event on May 4th, six artists created distinct views of the selected gardens in Davis. Artists Raquel Cox, Barbara Smithson, Patrick Cosgrove, Marlene Lee, Leslie Allen, and Karen Fess painted outdoors in different media, from oil and acrylic paint to watercolors.
Visitors could see the artists as they developed their work onsite, as each artist chose a favorite area of their garden. From close-up views of a few plants to paintings that captured a wider panorama,
each artist created a unique vision of the homeowner’s garden. We are grateful to the artists who dedicated their time to paint during Garden Tour, and for the ability to display their completed paintings. We’d also like to thank Susan Stoll for the use of her photograph Swallowtail as our cover image for the Garden Tour event, which we are including for visitors to enjoy in person.
If you are interested in purchasing any of these works of art, please see our staff. Pence Members also receive 10% off of work in this exhibit.
