Two Artists Explore the Quiet Power of Nature in “Voices in Stillness” Exhibition at A.I.R. Gallery

Glencoe, IL — April 2026 — Local artists Diane Rakocy of Wilmette and Maria Sundqvist of Winnetka will present a collaborative exhibition titled “Voices in Stillness” exploring what&nbsp;happens when we slow down and listen to nature’s quiet cues. The show will be on view at&nbsp;A.I.R.&nbsp;Studio &amp; Gallery from April 17 through May 10, 2026, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 25 from 5–8 PM.




The exhibition brings together two distinct styles united by the shared belief that slowing down and paying attention to the natural world can reveal beauty, connection and meaning in unexpected ways.


Rakocy’s vibrant, layered paintings are built through an intuitive process of color, mark-making and discovery. Sundqvist’s atmospheric landscapes offer a quieter visual language, capturing subtle shifts in light, horizon, and mood. Together their work creates a gentle dialogue, like listening to two voices telling different parts of the same story.



“This show grew from a shared desire to slow down and pay attention — to nature, to ourselves, and to what we might notice when we take a moment to listen.” said Rakocy.&nbsp;We hope visitors leave feeling a little more connected — to nature and to themselves.


An opening reception will be held Saturday, April 25 from 5–8 PM, and the public is warmly invited to attend.
