Reprieve: Samantha Haring and Tess Michalik at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts presents Reprieve, a joint exhibition featuring Samantha Haring and Tess Michalik. Both artists, who met at Northern Illinois University, explore themes of tranquility and domesticity through their work. Haring’s meticulous depictions of everyday objects like bubble wrap and glass jars convey serenity, employing soft chalk pastel and oil paint to create Dutch-inspired still lifes. Michalik, inspired by vintage wallpaper, celebrates floral motifs with impasto techniques, producing vibrant and textured compositions that bridge ornamentation with emotional depth.
