SUMMARY:Brad Posey - ROADKILL CIRCUS
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Brad Posey which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from March 4 – May 30\, 2026.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, May 30 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \n“ROADKILL CIRCUS” is a motley crew of characters and creatures.  This series of paintings started in 2025.  Inspired by everything from graffiti\, Francis Bacon\, heavy metal\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, horror movies\, cave drawings\, cartoons\, tribal art\, comic books\, album covers\, etc.  I try to use anything around me from southern culture to science fiction.  I often work in a space that has been described as both scary and silly. \n  \nAbout the artist:   \nMy name is Brad Posey.  I was born in Huntsville\, Alabama in 1972.  I am not formally educated as an artist but have always been drawn to music\, poetry and art.  I host a local radio show called The Invisible City on 89.3 WLRH and I work at UAH in the Facilities and Maintenance Department.  Art is a relaxing and soothing practice.  It’s not about having a goal or achieving a certain outcome but more of a process and a way to lose yourself in the experience. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beth McKay - Depression Incarnate
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Beth McKay which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from November 26\, 2025 – February 28\, 2026.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, February 28 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nDepression Incarnate is an exploration of pain\, grief\, and heartbreak — a reflection of how I process complex emotions through art. For me\, painting is not just creation; it’s communication. Art allows me to express feelings that are too heavy or complicated to put into words\, transforming sorrow into something visual\, tangible\, and healing.  \nThe majority of my work consists of surrealist self-portraits that embody emotional states rather than likeness. Each piece represents a chapter of my healing journey — navigating loss\, divorce\, and rebirth. After the sudden loss of my father\, I turned to painting as a way to process the overwhelming grief that followed. My oil on canvas Underneath represents that experience\, portraying myself in contemplation of death\, grief\, and the cyclical nature of existence and reincarnation.  \nWhen I went through a divorce in 2020\, I once again turned inward\, using art to process heartache\, loss\, and newfound freedom. In Organs\, a nude female figure removes her lungs\, tongue\, and brain — symbols of suffocation\, silence\, and overthinking — yet keeps her heart intact\, a quiet act of resilience and hope. Wrapped in a vine of white flowers\, she slowly unravels herself from the binds that once held her.  \nIn Wallflower\, another self-portrait\, I explore the feeling of invisibility and the process of re-emergence. The figure stitches her own heart back together with needle and thread as she begins to separate herself from the wallpaper that once concealed her\, symbolizing self-recovery and rediscovery.  \nPoppy Heart may appear as a heart blooming with delicate flowers\, but the poppy carries deeper meaning — beauty intertwined with danger\, addiction\, and loss. This piece is a tribute to loved ones lost to addiction\, and to the complex love that remains for those still fighting it. To honor their memory\, 20% of the proceeds from Poppy Heart will be donated to Not One More Alabama\, a nonprofit that provides education\, hope\, and compassionate support to families affected by addiction.  \nMy art comes directly from the heart. It is born from grief but rooted in resilience — a visual testament to the strength of the human spirit and the healing power of creation. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nBeth McKay is a multidisciplinary artist based in Huntsville\, Alabama\, where she has lived most of her life. With over 25 years of experience\, Beth has honed her skills in oil painting\, watercolor\, and screen printing\, crafting deeply personal and evocative works. A graduate of the University of Montevallo (2002) with a concentration in painting and a minor in graphic design\, Beth further pursued her passion for art education at the University of Alabama in Huntsville\, earning a degree in Art Education in 2016 to foster the love of art in young minds.  \nAs a member of the Alabama Women’s Caucus for Art (ALWCA)\, Beth has been an active voice in the regional art community. Her studio is located at Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment\, where she continues to create and experiment. Her work is often inspired by the legendary Frida Kahlo\, with Beth herself serving as the main subject of her pieces. Through self-portraiture\, Beth explores themes of identity\, vulnerability\, depression and the female experience.  \nBeth’s recent works have been showcased in numerous exhibitions\, including the Curated Gallery show No Place Like Home (August-October 2025) and The Feminine—Body\, Mind\, and Spirit at Alabama A&M University in 2025. Her painting “Organs” was featured in The Feminine I ALWCA Art Show at Alabama A&M. In 2023\, her paintings “Poppy Heart” and “Cage” were displayed in the Juried Art Teachers’ Biennial Exhibition at the Huntsville Museum of Art.  \nBeth has also contributed to public art projects\, including Time for aRt EVOLUTION\, a collaborative public art display in downtown Huntsville in 2020. Her creative journey has earned her several accolades\, including second place for Mechanical Owl at the UAH Graphic Design Art Show and an Honorable Mention for Underneath at the UAH Juried Art Show in 2017.  \nThrough her work\, Beth McKay continues to challenge the boundaries of self-expression and create art that speaks to both personal and universal experiences. \n

SUMMARY:Monica Yother - Between Notes
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Monica Yother which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from September 24 – November 22\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, November 22 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the Exhibit: \nFor over a decade\, Monica Yother has painted dance figures that focus on movement\, emotion\, strength\, and grace- capturing the dance itself rather than the dancer. In this new body of work\, however\, she shifts her gaze beyond the performance to the performer. On stage\, the dancer often becomes nearly transparent-what we witness on stage is the story and the character brought to life through choreography and costume\, rather than the individual behind it. Yother is intrigued by the concept of “the transparent dancer\,” aiming to reveal a glimpse of the person beneath the performance. \nRather than present the dancers on a stage with wooden floor and fabric curtains\, she chose to suggest the world that the dancer’s character might inhabit. Instead of a heavy curtain that hides the scene from the audience\, we see semi-transparent fabric that flows behind and in some cases in front of the figure\, to suggest the transparency of the dancer. \nIt is the intention of this selection of works to look at ballet through a different lens\, and observe dancers caught between movement\, between notes. \n  \nAbout the Artist: \nMonica Yother is primarily an oil painter\, focusing on dance figures\, though she does enjoy painting animals and birds. Since 2008 she has been the resident artist for Huntsville Ballet\, creating art work for the organization that has become the brand. She is currently working on an MFA with a concentration in painting and drawing. Monica lives in Huntsville\, Alabama and has a studio where she teaches classes and workshops. \n

SUMMARY:Kathryn Williamson - Climate Women
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Kathryn Williamson which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from July 16 – September 20\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 20 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nI believe that healing the climate is connected with healing ourselves\, which includes listening to those small seeds of yearning we have\, to share ourselves and live out loud from our passions. I always loved astrophysics and art\, and the climate crisis asks me to bring both the scientific and artistic parts of myself forward to be more whole. I’ve spent much of the last decade as an academic\, an astronomy educator\, hardly painting at all. This “Climate Women” series is a gift to myself. It has accompanied a larger shift in my life of transitioning from academia to independent consulting\, from frantic rushing to being more intentional with my time\, and from following rigid perceptions of what a “professional” does to listening more to the messy\, creative parts of myself. Painting these women while listening to recordings of them speaking on stage or in interviews has become a meditation practice for me to listen\, learn\, create\, and connect. \nI originally started this series by painting authors from the book All We Can Save\, but since the book has about fifty authors\, I started to bounce around. In no particular order\, I just followed my whims for topics that caught my eye. I expanded to women I know personally and/or learned about through other efforts. I have many more portraits I’d like to paint\, and I made more paintings for this series than I’m sharing in public. This is for a few important reasons. The first has to do with consent. A big part of this effort is the practice of respect and reciprocity. I vowed from the beginning that I would only display the paintings if I received explicit permission. There are a handful of women I painted who I was not able to reach\, and it was not for lack of trying! For example\, I can see that a few of the women are extremely busy taking brave actions\, and after brief attempts to contact them\, I thought it might be best to just let them be so they can focus. Others seem to have totally disappeared from contact. It gives me a sinking feeling. I wonder\, why? Did their activism bring them into harm’s way? Are they okay? There is only one painting where I got an explicit “not at this time” response. There is also one painting that is just bad; I’m too embarrassed to share it with anyone. It was one of the first ones I started\, and I could feel myself rushing\, trying to “accomplish” the big task ahead. I keep it as a reminder to take my time and prioritize investing in process and quality. Then there are the paintings where I did invest careful attention to detail\, and I’m very proud of the resulting quality\, and I still couldn’t reach the woman depicted\, so I sit with that feeling of not getting what I thought I wanted\, without getting that external validation. And that\, too\, is a learning practice for me. \nThis collection is not at all representative of the many women who show up to help make a better world. In general\, compared to men\, women are more likely to recognize climate change as a serious problem\, more concerned global climate change will harm them personally\, and believe that people will have to make major lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of global climate change (Pew Research Global Attitudes Survey 2015). While women suffer disproportionately from resource scarcity and natural disasters resulting from climate change\, women also hold significant community and ecological knowledge\, can mobilize households\, and can safeguard health measures such as sanitation and forest regeneration. This is why gender equity is listed as one of the key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nWhether you are inspired by the women featured in this collection\, other women helping their communities\, and/or all the awesome non-women activists out there helping to envision and generate a healthy\, equitable\, and sustainable future\, I hope you find your unique role in the climate movement. We need everyone. We need you! \nOriginal paintings are not for sale. See ursagaia.com if you would like to purchase a 18×24-inch mosaic poster print of the collection. Proceeds will be donated to the All We Can Save Project. \n

SUMMARY:Denise DeKemper - Dye Hard\, Bloom Anyway
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Denise DeKemper which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from April 30 – July 12\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, July 12 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nHope and love are stubborn things—like wildflowers in sidewalk cracks\,  they refuse to quit. My silk paintings embrace this beautiful defiance\, where  hearts stay open\, flowers bloom on their own terms\, and dye does  whatever it pleases. Working with silk and salvaged fibers\, I celebrate  imperfection\, resilience\, and the messy\, unpredictable magic of life. Love  and hope may not follow the rules\, but that’s exactly how they thrive. And  still\, we bloom.  \n  \nAbout the Artist  \nDenise DeKemper grew up in Fayette\, Alabama\, spending her childhood  immersed in books\, nature\, the quiet beauty of her grandparents’ farm— and\, of course\, football. After years out west\, she found her artistic voice in  fiber art\, specifically painting on silk. Now back home in Huntsville\, she  works from her studio at Lowe Mill A&E (Studio 2042)\, where she embraces the  South’s contradictions—its grit and grace\, its hardship and beauty. Guided by the spirit of Dye Hard\, Bloom Anyway\, her work reflects resilience\, transformation\, and the art of finding beauty in the imperfect. \nInstagram \n

SUMMARY:Brian Walker - Scary Monsters  and Super Creeps
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Brian Walker which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from February 8 – April 26\, 2025.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, April 26 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit; \nAll the hanging pieces are relief block prints\, carved and then printed on a physical printing press. Much care goes into planning out the textures and shading before I commit to carving my design into a linoleum block. The blank space around each single mark\, shape and shadow is carved by hand\, one at a time. Then I apply ink to the block and run it through a printing press to make the images you see here. Each piece is a scene from an epic story\, using the language of pop culture with composition\, lighting and framing that highlight the most compelling parts of a narrative. The viewer will have to tell themselves how the characters got here\, what happens next\, and why. Whatever story they build for themselves is far more important and personal than my intention when creating the piece.  \nThe sculptures are made from recycled toys and electronics. All the parts are separated\, sanded down\, and attached in new combinations to make these new characters. Every detail\, each new element added builds their personality and attitude. I then add a layer of paint to set the tone and make them seem like a cohesive individual. Yes\, I am the bad kid from Toy Story. \n\nAbout the artist; \nBrian has been carving pictures of monsters and creeps into blocks and printing them since 2007. He has been living in Huntsville\, Alabama for half his life. Brian appears at local artist markets and fan conventions around the southeast\, and his artwork has a permanent home at braintwist.net. He is supported by his lovely wife who puts up with all of his nonsense\, three wonderful kids\, a dog\, and two cats who will never stop sitting on his blocks while carving.  \n

Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, February 8 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nThese three groups of watercolors reflect my interest in mid-century art and design. Each grouping is completely different from the next\, but I hope you can see my hand across the paintings displayed. I don’t like doing the same thing over and over and I like to cultivate different styles that challenge my watercolor painting abilities  \n“Group one” leans on a shape that keeps showing up in my work. A cruciform or tribal shape that includes vertical and horizontal lines intersected by a circle. This is a powerful visual and a shape that is inherently good design. I’ve used this shape to anchor a scratchy group of shapes that appears to be floating in its own space. These shapes carry a deeper meaning for me. You can’t get away from the fact that it carries religious weight. But the main goal is good design and a pleasing picture. \n“Group two” is a series of “nouveau mid-century” paintings that tap into late-50’s to mid-60’s illustration and art seen in magazines and advertising of that era. I like slightly scratchy lines to frame colors and shapes. Again\, my goal was a pleasing picture that is built on good design principles. You will see in the titles of these pieces what they reflect to me. I hope someone with a minimalist or mid-century furnished home recognizes how these abstracts could be used. \n“Group three” are more traditional watercolor paintings. These landscapes use easily recognizable subject matter but have abstract qualities because of the looseness and non-photorealistic approach I use. I am not a big fan of photo-realistic modern watercolor paintings. If that’s the goal\, I say “take a picture”. I strive (as many watercolorists do) to have a fresh and loose feel in my work\, especially those with easily recognizable subject matter. I think this is a worthy life-long quest. \nMy painting philosophy: the least number of strokes usually wins in the battle to achieve a good watercolor. When I paint\, I try to be relaxed. Put on some retro cool jazz and execute my plan. I work from photos for realistic paintings. When it comes to abstract painting – which I dearly love — I have an inspiration and a vision for what I will execute. People ask “What does it mean”? Well\, a lot of the time\, that’s not clear to me as I am concentrating on good design\, use of color and producing something that is pleasing to the eye. But emotion\, things in my subconscious and a bit of romance percolate to the top in most cases. I strongly believe in having different styles. I think this comes from college and my days in advertising. Being able to do several looks for an art project has its advantages. \nI’d like to thank my parents who were both accomplished artists for allowing me to pursue a life in the visual arts. I like to think the Delk’s were a little bit different. I was raised with a very well-rounded set of interests and opportunities. I’m pretty sure going out to draw a barn with your Dad at 6:30 on a Saturday morning is something that none of my friends were doing.  \nAbout the artist: \nI am a Huntsville native and 1988 Graduate of Auburn University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts – Graphic Design. While my professional career spanning more than 30 years has been as a designer\, I have become more dedicated to my fine art interests and continue to paint watercolors with a wide variety of subject matter. From commissions for semi-realistic Army helicopter paintings to landscapes\, wildlife and abstract pieces\, I believe my artwork runs the gamut of what watercolor can be. I have a studio here at Lowe Mill A&E. Please come visit me and let’s talk art! I’m in #1044\, North Building\, first floor; near the Cat Lounge. \n  \nTo find the the gallery in Lowe Mill A&E\, click MORE INFO below (Tickets are NOT required.)

SUMMARY:Cheryl Busick - 12
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Cheryl Busick which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from October 2 – November 23 2024.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, November 23 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nA lot of things I liked at the age of twelve\, I still like.  It seemed like the sun was always shining. I still climbed trees and dreamed of horses. Fall with its deep colors and cool air was my favorite season and October brought my favorite holiday. Halloween. I have a soft spot for monsters.  I sought out stories of valor\, courage and strength in books\, poems\, songs\, folktales and movies. \nUsing relief and intaglio printmaking methods as the bones\, I tried  building up some of my favorite childhood influences with collages of multiple images (one of the great advantages of printmaking) and then experiments with color and with paint/stains and ink often morphed the original ideas. I’m pretty happy with the results. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nI was 12 years old\, on the darker side of the 1970’s when I was tapped for the New York State pilot program for the gifted and talented. I was given a mentor and allowed to explore in-depth all the arts provided in the Jr and Sr High school.  \nAfter high school I met with mostly disappointing experiences in pursuing the fine arts so I kept what talents I had in my back pocket\, taking them out occasionally and adding skills whenever possible all while living a pretty full life.  \nNow my life is not so full and I feel free to devote an honest effort in being an artist.  I have a working studio and retail shop on the quiet third floor here at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment #315 Angry Couch Club Studio- juried in as a printmaker.  \nI found a deep respect for printmaking. A great deal of focus and discipline are required for traditional print editions. I try to do that occasionally. The rest of the time I like playing with an image\, seeing what variables can enhance or improve it using skills from other methods and mediums.  Some things work\, some do not but it’s fun to be able to work the ideas out. \nInstagram: @busickcheryl \n  \nTo find the the gallery in Lowe Mill A&E\, click MORE INFO below (Tickets are NOT required.) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roxie Veasey - One Clover and a Bee
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition round includes works provided by Roxie Veasey which will be on view in the First Floor Ramp Gallery from July 31 – September 28\, 2024.  Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night\, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.  The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out\, enjoy a pleasant evening\, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you!  The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday\, September 28 from 5-7 pm. \n  \nAbout the exhibit: \nMy work starts from memory\, sensations\, and my interactions with the natural world. As I add and subtract images\, marks\, and color\, I let each piece become an “open-ended system” that develops its own identity through my eye and hand. Like nature\, the images and materials interact with each other. They play\, sometimes violently\, overwhelm\, engulf and contain each other\, and are changed by their relationships. They make gestures and tell stories that seem almost human but\, of course\, are not. \n  \nAbout the artist: \nRoxie Suzanne Veasey grew up in a small cow town in south-central Florida where she hung out with a lot of alligators\, frogs\, and mosquitoes. After surviving a childhood chased by roosters\, being knocked over by cows\, and falling off horses she went on to receive her BA from the University of South Florida and her MFA from the University of Georgia. Her work has been shown through-out the southeast US. She currently lives in Huntsville\, Alabama\, and is a lecturer at the Art\, Art History and Design department of the University of Alabama in Huntsville.\n  \n  \nTo find the the gallery in Lowe Mill A&E\, click MORE INFO below (Tickets are NOT required.)
