You’re invited to the opening night of "Hiding in Plain Site," a debut retrospective featuring the deeply personal and powerful work of multidisciplinary artist and designer Joseph A. Henseler, on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Union Hall Gallery in San Diego; the exhibition will run through August 10. After creating in near-anonymity for over 30 years, Henseler brings 90 original works—sculpture, stained glass, painting, architectural design, and more into the light. His work is a testament to resilience, introspection, and the capacity for art to hold meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Opening night will include live music, refreshments, and a Q&A with the artist, whose story bridges architecture, wilderness, family, and spiritual healing. Closing weekend (August 9) will feature a special performance by Henseler’s wife, Chilean vocalist Lorena Isabell, and will be dedicated to survivors of domestic abuse and neglect, a deeply personal cause for the artist. The public is invited to attend this free, immersive exhibit and witness a journey three decades in the making.
