Artist Member Jo Wadler featured in Instincts

October 8 – November 15. 2026 Opening Reception Saturday, October 17, 5pm – 7pm Enameling with Stencils: Expanding Your Enamel Designs Workshop with Jo Wadler Friday, October 23, 6pm – 9pm ArTalk Saturday, November 14, 5pm – 7pm Gallery North is pleased to present INSTINCTS: Schery Markee-Sullivan, Gina Mars and Jo Wadler. Instincts brings together painter and mixed media artist, Schery Markee-Sullivan; sculptor and wearable artist, Jo Wader; and ceramicist and sculptor, Gina Mars for their first exhibition together at Gallery North. Driven by instinct, their work, in turn, conveys the human experience. Each piece balances technique, fluid experimentation and an exploration of material interaction, appearing both ancient and contemporary. Wader’s wearables question the boundary between art and adornment, through objects meant to be worn, experienced, and integrated into daily life. There are complex surfaces in the dynamic color, line and energy of Markee-Sullivan mixed media paintings and vibrant glazes and textures within Mars’ vessels. Each surface is a conduit for expression and dialogue and each work is evocative of the artist’s personal narrative.
