Art & Light Gallery in Greenville will host 'Natural Form,' an exhibition opening June 2 and running through June 27, featuring abstract works by Allison James, Bethany Mabee, and Morgan Walker. The show explores organic shapes and patterns found in nature, with each artist drawing from personal experiences—James from motherhood, Mabee from interior design, and Walker from her father's Parkinson's disease and her own mental health struggles. An opening reception will be held June 5.
The exhibition matters because it highlights how contemporary abstract artists translate deeply personal narratives—such as grief, control, and human experience—into visual explorations of nature. By showcasing three distinct voices from the American South and Midwest, the gallery reinforces the role of regional art spaces in fostering intimate connections between artists and their communities, while also offering virtual access to broaden its audience.
