Gallery B presents the contemporary work of Karen Van Allen, Mimi Guernica, Tamora Ilasat and Kate McConnell in an exhibition titled FOUR STORIES, representing the woven voices of four Washington-based artists.

Working both independently and together over many years in workshops and art associations, these artists use various media to reflect on their personal journeys to create work that tells a story through each of their respective narratives.

Karen Van Allen’s focus has been to create work that expresses the complexity of reality paired with areas of simplicity as a counterbalance. Mimi Guernica concentrates on semi-abstract figures and landscapes, using figures that represent the universality of the human experience and landscapes that provide novel perspectives on the natural world.

Tamora Ilasat says, “My primary interest is line…straight, curved, broken, dashes, continuous. The subjects I return to again and again are the figure, the figure in landscape. Organic forms, pods, fungi, trees, nature in general also factor in my work." While Kate McConnell infers her connection to the outdoors and aims to capture nature’s vitality in her work.
