Miwa Gardner – Watercolor Portraits
Michele Marquardt – Fused Glass
April 3 – May 15, 2026
The City Hall Gallery is pleased to present the work of Miwa Gardner and Michele Marquardt April 3 – May 15.
Miwa Gardner
I get caught up in people's subtle expressions—the way eyes hold something back, or how a mouth reveals what words won't say. These portraits are my way of slowing down with moments I'm still trying to understand: grief, disconnection, the different selves we become. I'm not trying to resolve these feelings—just making space for them, zooming into what usually goes unnoticed.
Michele Marquardt
I was searching for a new artistic medium eleven years ago when I took a glass fusing class. As the liquid glass melted and fused into another sheet of liquid glass, I was mesmerized and knew that I had found a new medium. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and types of glass, utilizing a range of temperatures to achieve depth in a way that brings out glass’s captivating fluidity and detail.
