Joyce Howell: Solo Show
March 1-30, 2025

On March 1st, 2025, Wally Workman Gallery is pleased to present a solo show with abstract painter Joyce Howell. Howell’s palette is informed by nature and its flux between calm and chaos, creating what she describes as loose landscapes. She describes the process as an ongoing conversation. An intuitive painter, each color and mark applied to the canvas informs the next; colors give the impression of physical weight and become instruments, much as in a musical composition. As the work progresses, the painting becomes a collaboration, a dialogue between Howell and the canvas.

Joyce Howell lives and works in the Austin, Texas area.

Diana Greenberg: Solo Show
April 5-27, 2025

Opening reception on Saturday, April 5 from 6 to 8pm

On Saturday, April 5th, Wally Workman Gallery will open a solo show with painter Diana Greenberg. Nature inspires much of Greenberg’s work, with botanical forms appearing in many of her pieces. Italian frescos have inspired Greenberg to work larger for this show. Through the freedom that comes with expanse, Greenberg explores new more immersive color relationships, gesture and a heightened use of negative space. 

Diana Greenberg lives and works in Austin, Texas.

Perception: Ashley Benton, Christopher Lee Gilmer and Eric Varner
May 3-25, 2025

Opening reception on Saturday, May 3 from 6 to 8pm

On Saturday, May 3rd 2025, Wally Workman Gallery opens Perception, a group show with artists Ashley Benton, Christopher Lee Gilmer and Eric Varner. Using AI as a tool, Christopher Lee Gilmer generates his subjects inspired by string theory and chakra resonance, then uses paint to communicate this unique perception of reality. Ashley Benton explores the merging of the earthly and celestial in her surreal ceramic figures. Eric Varner uses flat color and geometry to play with our senses of perception. Each artist has their unique take on the world and viewing their work is seeing the world through their eyes. As Ashley Benton says, “The work hovers in the in-between- Less than reality, More than a dream”.
