We appreciate creativity in many different facets, including the visual arts. Our café space was designed with the intention of sharing such art from local artists in a three month rotating art show to exhibit their work, bringing life to our walls and recognition to these very talented creators. We hope that you enjoy their work as much as we do when you visit us.

Maureen Minard
"Little Moments."
June 26th - September 24th, 2023
Maureen is an abstract painter and teacher in the Washington, D.C. area. She explores memory, local landscape, and fractured realities. Maureen uses acrylic, oil pastels, graphite, and ink on canvas or paper. An art historian, Maureen reframes the tradition of landscape painting with intuitive painting methods. Using a playful palette and layering of referential shapes, Maureen’s work rejects pressures to depict neat and tidy landscapes. Instead, she complicates the truth of our unique perspectives and recollection of the composition of familiar space.

"Please Like Me."
These pieces wrestle to reconcile the whole and the individual. All of these squares together comprise a large breadth of emotions, and yet as you get closer to the piece itself, you realize how different, how distinct each puzzle piece and each emotion really is. I wanted to display this fabric of squares in a way that felt overwhelming, all-encompassing, but not suffocating. A space you could enter into and feel the immensity of blue since that is how emotions can and do typically feel.
