PRESS ON
by
Debra Livingston & Karen Wharton
March 18th through April 12th, 2026
OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY March 19th, 2026, 5 PM to 9 PM

Debbie Livigston says the show title Press On refers to the fact that her art in this show started as a print created on an etching press. As a printmaker for over 40 years, she has accumulated piles of etchings, monoprints and monotypes. In a world increasingly dependent on computers and digital media, the etching presses used to print her art are not that different from those used by Rembrandt in 1650. For this show, she has recycled old prints into new artworks by transforming them with drawings, collage and encaustic wax. The title also encourages her to Press On and continue her artistic journey.
Karen Wharton is a self proclaimed homebody who loves to travel.
She says "Travel fuels my imagination and reminds me how widely connected we are. Home is where I explore long-term, personal connections with the people I love.
Art is how I hold both ideas at once.
The vastness of the world.
The intimacy of everyday life.
Honest, authentic art connects us as human beings."
A trip to Japan in 2024 re-opened her eyes to the quiet grace of ceramic vessels from all over the world. Some paintings here focus directly on these vessels. Others are simple tributes to the rhythms, shapes and colors that she appreciates whether shes here in Colorado or on the road.
Most of the paintings integrate her hand-painted monoprint collages, created with a Gelli Plate and a variety of printing techniques.
"Together, I hope, these paintings bring the world home."
Debbie and Karen will host a Gelli Plate Workshop / Demo — Sunday, March 29, 12–2 p.m. We will demonstrate creative ways to create beautiful prints using leaves, lace, stencils, and more. Participants can try their hand at pulling a few prints. Free—All materials provided while supplies last.

Unmapped

The paintings by Pamela Hake in Unmapped are emotional responses to the earth and
the events unfolding on it around her. Using acrylics, charcoal, inks, and collage, she
releases those emotions in an unmapped representation coming from her soul. Whether
it is storm clouds, dead flowers, crashing waves, or sunshine finding its way through the
darkness, each is an abstract rendition unique to her.
Lois Lupica has observed that some places resist the precision of a map. The Big Island
of Hawai'i is one of them — a landscape still actively becoming itself, where molten
earth meets ocean and the light shifts from volcanic haze to blazing gold in a single
breath.
Lois's paintings in Unmapped are a body of encaustic and cold wax works born of
repeated journeys to this island, each visit revealing something a photograph could
never capture. These paintings don't trace coastlines or mark coordinates. Instead, they
chase what lingers after the trip is over: the way late afternoon light turns the air amber,
the impossible blue where deep water meets shallow reef, the raw authority of lava rock
that has barely cooled.
Working in wax allows these impressions to build the way memory does — in
translucent layers, one experience settling over the last, edges softening, colors
deepening. The encaustic surface holds light the way the island itself does, glowing
from within rather than simply reflecting what's above. Some pieces push toward
recognizable horizons; others dissolve into pure color and texture, capturing the feeling
of a place rather than its likeness.
Unmapped is an invitation to travel without a guidebook — to stand inside a landscape
that is felt before it is understood, and to find your own way through.
Lois R. Lupica
