Nick Noyes
April 3 – June 27, 2025
Reception to be held Friday, May 30 from 4-6pm
Reno-based artist and muralist Nick Noyes brings a dynamic fusion of color, form, and expression to his work. Exploring themes of portraiture, florals, and abstraction, Noyes moves fluidly between oil paint, spray paint, oil pastels, chalk, collage, and 2D sculpture. His diverse styles—ranging from abstract and impressionism to cubism and abstract expressionism—create striking visual narratives that engage and intrigue. With each piece, Noyes seeks to spark curiosity, proving that true interest emerges at the intersection of bold color, intentional form, and raw artistic expression.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Candida Webb | Friendly Fallout & Other Stories
July 3 – September 26, 2025
Reception to be held Friday, July 11 from 4-6pm
Candida Webb’s collages blend nostalgia with unease, using vintage children’s book illustrations and text to explore shifting language and hidden tensions. Friendly Fallout draws from Nevada’s atomic testing era, layering historical imagery with found objects like war ration stamps to highlight the paradox of trust and danger. Her signature Jack-in-the-Box—a childhood anxiety—mirrors the unexpected shocks in both history and life. Through her work, Webb invites reflection and dialogue on the uncomfortable truths we often leave unspoken.

Elaine Parks finds inspiration in the quiet vastness of the Nevada desert, where open space becomes a canvas for the imagination. Her sculptures, influenced by tufa and other rock formations, blur the line between the familiar and the abstract, evoking memories of the natural world while resisting clear identification. Through texture and form, Parks invites viewers to see the landscape anew, transforming stillness into possibility.

Rossitza Todorova | Learning To Be Lost
October 3 – December 31, 2024
Reception to be held Friday, November 8 from 5-7pm
The series “Learning to be Lost” is an introspective journey that embraces the vastness of the desert landscape as a metaphor for navigating uncertainty. Drawing inspiration from desert survival strategies and illusory mirages, I seek to evoke a visceral experience of being lost.”
Rossitza Todorova is a professional artist and a Professor of Art at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, Nevada. Todorova holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, School of Art at Arizona State University, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nevada, Reno.
As a child, Todorova emigrated from Sofia, Bulgaria, to the Western United States, where her passion for the desert was ignited. A multidisciplinary visual artist, she draws on the influence of the Great Basin and the West’s boom-and-bust built environment. Todorova’s work often uses
landscape and geometry, occupying a space between representation and abstraction as she strives to create visual movement.
