May Featured Artist David Diethelm
David Diethelm - “Awash in the Flow”
The Optimistic Struggle
This collection displays the use of thinned oil paint and gravity-led
composition. From the spreading shapes of Icebergs Melting in Rain to
the upward-moving energy of Driptych, the work reveals a world that is
simultaneously eroding and emerging—a testament to the resilience of
creativity, offering a vibrant, impressionistic look at the energy
surrounding us.

May 2026 Featured Artist special exhibit during the month of May.
KF Gregory
Title: Liminal space
Subtitle: Between two worlds
KF Gregory is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in Eugene, OR
whose oil and watercolor paintings explore liminal, otherworldly
spaces. Inspired by years of travel through the American West and
beyond, his landscapes feel both familiar and imagined—quiet,
atmospheric places suspended between reality and dream.

May 2026 Special Exhibition at New Zone Gallery
Steven Ferri - “Anonymous”
Subtitle: These people do not exist.
"Anonymous" explores the fragile line between recognition and absence.
By combining synthetic portraiture with material obstruction,
"Anonymous" shifts portraiture away from representation and toward
process. It asks not who is depicted, but how recognition itself is
constructed — and what happens when that process breaks down.

Subtitle: ECCO Student's Exhibition
Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, students explore personal
expression in their own distinct ways. This collection celebrates
authenticity, creativity, and the power of individual voice.
