Introducing our artist of the month for this May, Patrick McHugh!

"I'm an artist from Stamford currently studying at UNH. I like focusing my art on textures and various materials, often trying to incorporate found objects. I often enjoy creating works with surreal aesthetics and elements to give more subtle information to hopefully encourage viewer engagement with my art.

Exhibit Bio: These pieces are mainly comprised of projects from my university courses where I explore materiality and textures. "

Introducing February's Artist of the Month: Abigail Murphy

Abigail is a Connecticut-based artist and undergraduate at Yale University, majoring in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies. In October of 2025, she flew to Rome to install her exhibition Inside Blue at the MAXXI National Museum of Modern Art’s Exhibition Discipline and Desire in conjunction with RUFA and Yale University. Inside Blue uses one of the earliest photography processes to analyze the separability of AI and humans, with inspiration drawn from AI psychosis. Inside Blue is currently installed at Yale's HAAS library. She was also awarded the CCAM 2025-2026 Studio Fellowship for her exhibition, Clustered, a transformation of a digital cloud into a tangible collection through the cyanotype process. She will be exhibiting her work in April of 2026. Additionally, Abigail was awarded the Creative and Performing Arts (CPA) Award from Berkeley College at Yale in the Spring of 2025 and Fall of 2025. In the spring, she had a gallery show in the Berkeley Grand Entrance at Yale, where she displayed a combination of satirical cartoons and fine art pieces critiquing the loneliness epidemic. For her Fall 2025 CPA award, she will further develop her questions from Inside Blue through a canvas medium with a showing in early February.
