Women’s Work presented by Trish Higgins Fine Art

Being Present by Derek Goon
Derek attempts to stay present and observe mundane beauty, trying to create strong compositions out of everyday, universally relatable midwestern scenes, situations, and locations. He enjoys capturing aspects of Wichita that feel familiar while trying to avoid stereotypical local and regional imagery.
Polyflora Revisited by Emily E. Ritter
Polyflora imagines a metaphorical future where plastics have fused with organic matter, creating hybrid species that replace the life we know today. This imagined environment is the planet’s rebirth after ecological collapse. Millions of years are required for organisms and systems to reintegrate materials into the life cycle, yet plastics — barely a century old — remain foreign to Earth’s processes. In this future, however, systems have adapted; evolution has shaped life capable of assimilating plastic as part of its being.
It’s Good to See You Again by Mason Talbott
This exhibition explores the reassurance found in enduring relationships, forged through repeatedly showing up for one another time and time again. By juxtaposing new partnership with older works and iterative echoes, the experience traces the deepening of relationship through creative collaboration and continued togetherness. As always, the room becomes an evolving interplay of light and shadow, fundamentally transformed by your Presence in it and with it. Only together, we witness the quiet beauty of staying, returning, and growing alongside one another. As always, it is so good to see you again.
Where the Path Shines by Shauna Canfield
My theme is Happiness. The intention is to bring joy and relaxation to viewers. My vision is to paint frequently to provide a wider range of images and subject matter to draw a bigger audience. Painting is my absolute passion! My dream is to create beautiful works for others to enjoy and truly appreciate. It’s my way of sharing my thoughts and visions without explanation.
Shape and Form
A collection of works by Wichita South High AP students: Shape And Form celebrate the work of students exploring ideas through both two- and three-dimensional media. Using drawing, painting, and ceramics, students translates personal concepts into visual form while building technical skill and creative confidence. Each piece represents a step in an ongoing process of experimentation, problem-solving, and artistic growth.
Meadow of Trees
A Community Response to Strength, Care, and Light by Tatiana Larsen and her students at Gordon Parks Academy
Meadow of Trees is a collaborative art installation created by students at Gordon Parks Academy and facilitated by art teacher Tatiana Larsen. The project began with a single, deeply personal artwork: a tree created by Marco Rosales Jr., a student responding to his experience with serious illness and brain cancer.
