Opening Night Friday, August 7th 5:00-7:30PM

Color, rhythm, and expressive line take center stage in the mixed-media works of artist Sally King Benedict. Known for her unmistakable visual language, Benedict’s work pulses with energy—layered patterns, bold palettes, and abstracted faces that feel at once spontaneous and deeply intentional.

This summer exhibition will bring together a vibrant collection of new works that highlight Benedict’s evolving exploration of form and emotion. Her signature faces emerge through intuitive mark-making, where each brushstroke feels alive with movement. 

Her work invites viewers to connect on a visceral level—its playful yet mature, structured yet free. Whether you’re drawn to color, gesture, or the quiet narratives hidden within her layered surfaces, there is a sense of discovery in every piece.

For Benedict, “These paintings explore perception as a kind of frequency — an emotional sensitivity to light, color, pattern, and repetition. Inspired by observing my daughter’s heightened way of noticing the world, the work reflects how certain details can hold attention with unusual intensity. Silver and gold leaf are embedded throughout the paintings as moments of activation, allowing surfaces to shift and respond to changing light and movement. Elements emerge, disappear, and reappear depending on perspective — echoing the experience of something suddenly catching the eye and becoming impossible to ignore. Through rhythm, reflection, and layered abstraction, Frequency of Seeing invites viewers into a more attentive and sensory-rich way of looking.”
