Please join us for the opening of our 9th annual Small Works | Big Impact holiday exhibition in additional to a two person show featuring Raymond Bonilla and Rachel David. The reception will feature light refreshments from 5-8pm, with an opportunity to meet some of the artists. All are welcome. This event is free and open to the public. The shows will run through January 31, 2026.
Small Works | Big Impact is an annual exhibition that affords our clientele the opportunity to discover and acquire exquisite original works. They are great options for intimate spaces and make unique holiday gifts* – even if you're just treating yourself! *The gallery will allow purchased works to leave in time for the holidays and plans to introduce new works periodically through the exhibition, which continues into the new year.
Raymond Bonilla, a contemporary painter known for his captivating landscapes and still life paintings, presents recent works alongside Rachel David, a highly skilled blacksmith and sculptor. Bonilla's vibrant and emotive pieces often blend abstraction and portraiture, inviting viewers to explore complex human experiences through layers of color and form. His works are deeply personal, yet universally resonant, reflecting themes of identity and memory. In this exhibition, Bonilla will showcase a series of paintings that continue to explore the nuances of light and shadow on architecture and in the garden, drawing on influences from his own cultural heritage and the contemporary world.
Rachel David's participation in the show brings an entirely different yet equally compelling dimension. A master blacksmith, David creates intricate metal sculptures that also play with light and shadow, often using raw materials to express strength, vulnerability, and transformation. Her work is known for its fluidity and organic forms, which push the boundaries of traditional metalworking. For this exhibition, David will unveil several large-scale sculptures that engage with the space in dynamic ways, inviting viewers to interact with the works both visually and physically. Together, Bonilla and David's collaboration promises an extraordinary dialogue between painting and sculpture, inviting audiences to reflect on the intersection of craftsmanship, creativity, and emotional depth.
