K. Grant Fine Art is proud to present Signals, a group exhibition featuring works by Steve Budington, Grace Hager, David Kearns, JoAnne Lobotsky, Jennifer McCandless, and Aimée Papazian.

Opening reception: Saturday, May 3, 2025, 6–9 pm

Signals brings together six artists from the northeastern United States whose work invites reflection, imagination, and reverence for the natural world. Across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and ceramics, these artists offer personal, perceptive responses to the landscape – tuning in to its patterns, symbols, and rhythms as a form of dialogue.

In a time of constant noise and disconnection, the work in Signals reminds us that nature is always speaking. These artists act as interpreters, translating the nonverbal language of the earth into visual form. From bird murmuration and functioning pollinator bee habitats to the subconscious terrain of memory and emotion, Signals explores how we remain in conversation with the earth and its elements.

Hailing from Vermont, New York, Maine, and Massachusetts, the artists in Signals bring distinct perspectives to this shared theme. Whether through sculptures that trace organic processes or paintings that blur the boundary between human design and nature’s unfolding, their work underscores the interconnectedness of all things. Signals asks us to pause, pay attention, and consider how we interpret nature’s cues in our own ways – as we seek the best path forward and remember the lessons the earth has to offer.
