'Persistence of Memory' 

Persistence of Memory includes a collection of photographs and paintings from artists Beau Simmons, Pam Moxley and Stuart Coleman Budd. The works in this series highlight fleeting moments in time, capturing the ephemerality of life and the collective experience of recalling forgotten memories. Artist Beau Simmons has found inspiration from the quiet authenticity of the Western lifestyle, aiming to capture forgotten ways of life. Beau’s work emphasizes the preservation of a snapshot in time, recording lost and overlooked moments.  Similarly, Pam Moxley imbues her works with a sense of “moxie”; the courageous spirit and determination that saturates childhood life. Her works are created to remind the viewer of their own time as a child, when they embraced life with an unbridled sense of courage and perseverance.  The landscape paintings of Stuart Coleman Budd have been inspired by his time exploring the great outdoors. When creating works, Stuart recalls his experiences outdoors and paints from memory. This, in turn, creates figurative idealized spaces allowing viewers to place themselves in this snapshot of a tranquil and idyllic world.  These artists embody the various aspects of the ephemerality of life, underscoring the distinctions between the human experience and uncovering the “lost” relics of our collective memory. 

'Persistence of Memory' runs from August 31 - September 30th
