Inspired by a childhood memory of Peter Pan, Kathleen Kane-Murrell’s "Chasing Shadows" explores the ephemeral nature of light and form. Using suspended plexiglass, she creates layered, shifting compositions where shadows become an integral part of the artwork—always present yet often overlooked. In a fast-paced world that demands quick judgments, Kane-Murrell invites viewers to slow down, engage in deep looking, and discover the quiet beauty in the fleeting. Her work is a meditation on time, transformation, and renewal, offering a space for contemplation and discovery. Join us at Sparks Gallery for the reception on Sunday, May 25, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. in conjunction with the Oceanside Museum of Art Artist Alliance Reception. "Chasing Shadows" will run from May 10 – July 6, 2025
