Philip Martin Gallery presents new works by Laurie Nye, who approaches painting as a space for exploration, memory, and connection to nature. Her vivid compositions emphasize surface, materiality, and gesture, drawing on personal landscapes in California and Tennessee. Influenced by Les Nabis and textile design, Nye reworks recurring visual motifs—fountains, reflections, foliage—to evoke sensory encounters with the natural world and moments of imaginative escape.
