Usher Gallery presents featured artist Teal Collins alongside Shaney Fago in an exhibition exploring intuition, expression, and connection. A self-taught visual artist and lifelong recording singer/songwriter and performing musician, Collins works in acrylic and oil on canvas (some mixed media), blending wildlife imagery with abstract florals and expressive color. Her paintings are intended as visual examples of a **peaceful, restorative view—a soft place to fall—**offering connection to the quieter, gentler aspects of life within an overstimulating world. In contrast and dialogue, Shaney Fago’s work focuses on portraiture and music, capturing emotional presence and musical energy through gesture and mood. Together, the artists create a visual conversation between nature, sound, and human expression.
This joint showcase, "Listening to the Wild," fuses sweeping West Coast wildlife and landscapes with the high-voltage nostalgia of GenX analog culture.
The evening will feature fine wine, local refreshments, live music by Musiq For The Soul, and a chance to meet the artists.
