SUMMARY:Exhibition: Lindsey Yeager
DESCRIPTION:On view: December 11\, 2026 to January 8\, 2027\nOpening Reception: Friday\, December 11\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\n \n  \nLindsey Yeager creates large-scale gouache paintings that explore disconnection\, grief\, transformation\, and the emotional weight of living in a rapidly changing world. Their work merges personal narrative with broader cultural anxieties\, examining loss\, fear\, and the longing to be understood. Through vivid imagery and metaphor\, the paintings probe the messy\, creature-like experience of navigating a world that often feels uninhabitable. \n  \nThank you to our generous sponsor\, Timberline Bank\, for supporting this exhibition\, along with our 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank \n \n \n
