Obsessed: Ink Drawings by Jim Haller
January 9 - February 21, 2026
Lower Gallery
Artist Reception: January 17 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Jim Haller is a Pen & Ink Artist and Art Educator. While in college, he was diagnosed with a degenerative health condition, which profoundly influenced both his life and his artwork. Originally focused on acrylic paintings and enjoying the creation of landscapes and skies, his work gradually began to reflect his personal experiences, thoughts, and challenges.
Haller seeks to balance dark concepts with visually appealing imagery. His work often features motifs such as medication, anatomy, hospitals, and nurses, aiming to convey the insecurities, fears, and anxieties associated with his health struggles.
He primarily works in ink, employing a stippling technique—creating images through repeated dots—a meditative and therapeutic process reminiscent of mandalas found in various cultures. His overarching goal is to transform his struggles and negative experiences into inspiring works of art.
Haller’s studio is located in The Artists’ Loft at Hill High Marketplace in Round Hill.

Plants and Places
Artwork from the Oak Spring Garden Foundation
March 25 - April 25, 2026
Lower Gallery
Artist Reception: March 27 | 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Located in Upperville, Virginia, the Oak Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) is a private operating foundation situated on 700 acres of land once part of Paul and Rachel “Bunny” Mellon’s estate. The Mellons were prominent philanthropists and art collectors throughout the twentieth century, and Mrs. Mellon left the property—including her personal rare book collection—to serve the public good. Established in 2016, Oak Spring carries forward Mrs. Mellon’s lifelong passion for plants, gardens, and the natural world through a wide range of public programs.
A central component of Oak Spring’s work is its residency program, which welcomes artists, researchers, and scientists for two- to five-week stays on site. Plants and Places features artwork by alumni of Oak Spring’s residency program, alongside reproductions of works held in the Oak Spring Library by contemporary French artist Sophie Grandval. Together, these works reflect the ways artists engage with plants and landscapes as sources of inspiration, inquiry, and creative expression.

Color Stories
An Exhibit by Pam Klein
May 2 - June 13, 2026
Lower Gallery
Pam Klein’s paintings are visual conversations in color—rich, rhythmic, and alive with feeling. Across forms that hover between gesture and geometry, she invites the viewer into moments where color isn’t just seen, but felt and experienced. Working in oil and occasionally gouache, her canvases pulse with energy and resonance, exploring the physical and emotional life of hue as a kind of storytelling on the picture plane.
A longtime student and teacher of color—including decades shaping minds at Parsons School of Design—Pam’s work reflects both a lifetime of abstract inquiry and the layered influences of her years in New York and her life now in the Virginia landscape. Color Stories unfolds these experiences into a sequence of paintings that speak through light, mood, and chromatic nuance.
J. Foster Historic Signs
June 6 - July 25, 2026
Upper Gallery
Blending craftsmanship, scholarship, and imagination, Jackson Foster recreates the character and presence of historic American and English signboards. His work grows out of careful research into the lives, trades, and communities of the 18th and 19th centuries, paired with a background in history, design, lettering, and woodworking.
Foster builds each sign from reclaimed wood—sometimes centuries old—and finishes it with period-appropriate hardware, from blacksmith-forged irons to hand-wrought nails and hinges. The result is a body of work in which every sign is distinct, evoking the artistry of early American makers while reflecting his ongoing study of historic typographic styles, painting traditions, and joinery techniques.
