Fragments of the Whole
Artists: Megan Ambroch
About: Megan Ambroch is an innovative and dynamic artist known for her distinctive blend of abstract expressionism and contemporary realism. Her work explores themes of human connection, personal identity, and the fluidity of memory. With a keen interest in color dynamics and texture, Ambroch creates visual experiences that evoke deep emotional responses. Her artwork often features intricate layering, both physically and conceptually, allowing viewers to engage with the pieces in multiple ways, discovering new interpretations upon each encounter.

Ambroch’s work speaks to a universal human experience, with a particular focus on the interplay between inner emotion and external reality. Through mixed media and striking use of light and shadow, her pieces blur the line between chaos and order, creating a tension that is both captivating and thought-provoking.

An art show based on her work could be aptly titled "Fragments of a Whole", reflecting her thematic exploration of how individual moments and emotions come together to form a larger, more intricate picture of human experience. This title encapsulates the way Ambroch’s art challenges viewers to see beyond the surface and understand the deeper connections between seemingly disjointed elements.

This collection is some of her favorites new and old. Currently available for purchase for a limited time. @ambrochart @megsmakeuphair @shcosmetics Megan Ambroch is an innovative and dynamic artist known for her distinctive blend of abstract expressionism and contemporary realism.

About: Oil paintings on canvas depicting the history and architecture of the buildings in Wilmington by local artist Jimmy Thompson on display for December. The Delaware History Museum and Mitchell Center for African American Heritage will offer free admission and extended hours during Art Loop reception from 5-7pm.

Thompson's artwork comes from a deep interest in the history and architecture of the buildings in Wilmington. A self-taught artist, he began painting with acrylics on canvas around 2015 and has focused on oils for the past several years.

Thompson says: "It ain't fine art so you don't have to study it, these are paintings of memories, just enjoy!"

“Landscape and Musicians” (The Grand)

“Body and Soul” (baby grand)
Grand Gallery: Janet Williams

About: My Landscape and Musicians show at The Grand includes both landscape paintings and studies of musicians. While landscape painting in Arden, I ended up in the Shady Grove concert venue and began painting the musicians. These paintings were often quick studies with a pallet knife since the band would only be on stage for 20 minutes. Other concerts were longer, which allowed me to add more detail. I also painted during the lunchtime concerts at Bellevue State Park where I could get closer and was able to make the paintings more realistic. These paintings were often sold on the spot to the musicians.

My landscape paintings are my primary focus and were mostly created in Delaware, but others were painted in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Martha’s Vineyard. While painting plein air, I look to achieve interesting subject matter, good composition, and appealing color that work harmoniously to deliver a skillful, well-executed painting. I have shown my landscape paintings locally, but this is the first show featuring the paintings of musicians.

Artist Statement: I grew up in Ardencroft, Delaware and studied at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Later I graduated from The University of Delaware and earned a master’s degree in interactive media from Philadelphia University. After working in different aspects of media in Philadelphia for many years, I began practicing yoga. Through yoga and being mindful of the present moment, my interest in painting was renewed. I discovered a love of painting outdoors and found the changing light and all the nuances nature provides a challenge. I moved back to Ardencroft and along with landscape painting, I began painting live bands at the Shady Grove in Arden.
baby grand Gallery: Jeffrey Hankinson

As a former classical dancer, movement plays a large role in my work along with color, texture, and light. I tend to gravitate towards working on larger canvases. I really love experimenting with metallic paints and metal leafing textures that add depth to the work. I find inspiration in all things, and I always try to allow myself to be amazed. My hope is that the viewer finds their own story in my work, a visual, non-verbal conversation

Artist Biography: Jeffrey is a South Carolina native and graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem NC with a concentration in classical ballet. Jeffrey also trained at the School of American Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Alvin Ailey American Dance Center, The Koln Dance Academie in Germany, and with esteemed teachers Maggie Black, David Howard, Robert Denvers, Melissa Hayden, and Robert Blankshine. Jeffrey was a soloist with Ballet D’Angelo. He later joined Alvin Ailey II, directed by Sylvia Waters. Jeffrey has danced with the Elisa Monte Dance Company, the Joyce Triscler Dance Company, and the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company and has toured throughout the United States, Europe and Aisia. Jeffrey continues to teach classical ballet and has guest-taught at many dance companies, studios and schools around the country and abroad.

Monochrome Drift
Artist: David Gregor
About: Monochrome Drift is a collection of contemplative black and white photographs. The introspective images frequently explore themes of isolation and uncertainty. Using black and white photography’s unique storytelling abilities, Monochrome Drift reminds us of the universality of these themes and, consequently, hopes to evoke a sense of connection through shared reflection. Indeed, for David, the kinship that a shared photograph can sometimes bring is perhaps the principal reason he carries a camera.

David Gregor is based in Wilmington, where he has lived or worked for nearly forty years. Prior to his photographic pursuits, David spent more than three decades working as a public finance professional with the state of Delaware and New Castle County. A career in public service taught David patience, craft, and generosity, attributes he hopes are evident in his photography. For David, each day with a camera is an opportunity for reinvention. @david_gregor_photography

Between Boundaries
Artists: Oscar Eduardo de Paz
About: John William Gallery is pleased to announce the fifth Emerging Curatorial Platform exhibition, Between Boundaries: Oscar Eduardo de Paz, curated by Sasha-Kay Thompson.

Between Boundaries is a solo exhibition featuring the deeply introspective paintings of Oscar Eduardo de Paz. A talented artist from Chicago with Guatemalan heritage, de Paz explores the sociopolitical and ecological issues prevalent in today's capitalist society.

The artist's distinctive style and sociopolitical commentary make for a rich and profound show that explores the many facets of self-identity and the ways societal institutions influence our lives. Between Boundaries tells the story of self-exploration and the individual's navigation of life as we face the realities of capitalism, discrimination, and ecological disasters. Composition and color are key elements of the show that create an impressive balance between aesthetics and storytelling, which sparks a deep resonance within the viewer and allows for poignant discussions about society today.

Now based in Wilmington, Delaware, de Paz has a master’s in Public Administration from West Chester University and is completing Post Master’s Research in Environmental Justice at the University of Delaware. de Paz has shown in several group and solo shows, notably at the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, DE, the Newark Art Alliance, DE, and Barclays, Wilmington, DE. He is also in the collection of the Nemours Children’s Hospital, Wilmington, DE, as well as multiple private collections in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Artist: Irina Turner of Arts by Angelova and The POP Factor (Balloon Art)
About: Irina Angelova is an abstract artist known for her dynamic use of acrylics. Her work is characterized by energetic compositions and vibrant color schemes that infuse her canvases with emotion and movement. A distinctive element of her creative process involves incorporating string as a tool, which allows her to introduce unique, flowing textures and dimensional depth into her pieces. This technique contributes to the dynamic, almost fluid quality of her abstract forms, bringing a sense of life and movement to her art.

Artist: Rachel Suga
About: Come out and enjoy our first Art Loop of 2025 with artist Rachel Suga. Rachel is a photographer and content creator based in Philadelphia, PA. Rachel says of her gallery, “[It] is very much inspired by the balance between struggling with mental health and not fully grasping the institutionalized ideologies of religion. Each piece, I have found inner peace in that moment, quieting my forever-busy mind while feeling a spiritual experience that I feel many have experienced when they are in a place of worship. My connections with nature and within myself often realign me, my goals, peace, and understanding of what is important, as we are all very small in the universe.”

Beer and wine are available for purchase and light refreshments will be available throughout the evening. Plant Bingo will be hosted from 6:30-8:00pm in the upstairs Founders Room. Tickets are $10 for members and $20 for non-members. Register online at thedch.org

The Little Things in Life
Artist: Kiara Florez
About: Kiara Florez is an artist who expands upon abstract painting with themes of spiritual philosophy and imaginative worlds. Since drawing at a young age, her works have always created stories, play with vibrant colors, and develop a unique style. Her latest process on art has taken her works into a more intellectual design, invoking a deeper personal meaning to it as she navigates through self-identity. Kiara has always been drawn to spiritual concepts, other dimensions/worlds, and the inner self. She feels that her paintings are a way to be in touch with the mystical side of life. She currently works full-time at a museum while showcasing in galleries and events across the Eastern Shore. Join us for the Art Loop reception from 5-8pm.

Artist Statement: My collection of acrylic works takes the familiarity of natural surroundings to explore the beauty and wonder through a lively, dreamlike lens. Several works depict the adventures from local scenes and simple domestic environments—finding peace in such sites that are getaways. Spirituality and nature are common patterns, tying in with emotional expression and the human psyche. The slight abstract elements play into the imaginative theme and dramatic forms. The works emphasize the marvels of nature and the power it holds to connect to comfortability and familiarity. It seeks the quiet and stilled moments to relish in before it flees.

The direction of my works is painted on canvases, using acrylics to mix the primary colors together. Concepts I explore are spiritual thinking and imaginative worlds, using bold colors and wavy lines. The forms and shapes are highly exaggerated and appear in abstract form. Many of my works are often human-like beings interacting with landscapes or other beings. I create openly interpretive paintings for viewers even if there is a personal meaning behind it.
