From the venue:

Spruill Gallery welcomes back Sarah Emerson, whose work is a notable part of the gallery’s contribution to public art. Returns on exhibition from April 25 to June 20, 2025, features recent works by the artist. Quintessential of Emerson’s works, the exhibition presents viewers with highly stylized mixed-media drawings and paintings featuring versions of nature that combine geometric patterns and mythic archetypes to examine contemporary landscapes.

Her work is published in Noplaceness: Art in a Post Urban Landscape, Stickers Deluxe: From Punk Rock to Contemporary Art, and New American Paintings in 2012, 2007, and 2003. She received the 2015 Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia Working Artist Project Grant, selected by Siri Engberg, Senior Curator of Visual Arts at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
