J. Peeler Howell Fine Art will present the opening reception of "Petrichor," Dawn Waters Baker’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Through layering thin oil glazes, Baker translates the emotional and spiritual essence of nature into landscapes.

Water, earth, atmosphere, and sky become veiled glimpses into a deeper reality. Her work bridges tradition and contemporary, the physical and spiritual. Her upbringing in the Philippines, marked by both beauty and hardship, informs her exploration of the world's inherent tension: light and dark, glory and earthliness.
