May 2025: Snakes and Rivers

Artwork by Jiemei Lin

This solo exhibition Snakes & Rivers by Jiemei Lin presents new colorful abstract works on paper. Drawing inspiration from natural landscapes and the changing seasonal palettes of the Inland Northwest and her native Hangzhou, China, Lin creates her own secret world of swirling tones and patterns. Viewers are invited to explore Lin’s tactile, rich mixed media surfaces up close, discovering hidden clues and connections between pieces.

Lin is an award-winning illustrator and muralist who often explores themes of individual and cultural identity with a particular emphasis on design and color. Her works function like vignettes or moments of stories, inviting the viewer into the scene to imagine possible narratives.
