This exhibition, titled "On a Whim, and in Plain Air," is a wordplay on "On a Wing and a Prayer," chosen by the artists to reflect spontaneous action and clear, simple artwork. Moira Stewart and Cathy Davis aim to showcase pieces that exhibit their mutual love for nature, landscapes, and animals through their unique artistic approaches.

The show takes place at the Hope Art Gallery’s Backroom Gallery. Moira Stewart, a member of the Hope Arts Gallery since 2018, returns for her fourth Backroom show, focusing primarily on photography. Cathy Davis, a local artist and instructor, draws inspiration from nature and animals, working with mediums like acrylic painting on canvas, wood panels, driftwood, and experimental combinations of air dry clay, modeling paste, and acrylic.

The exhibition runs from October 1 to October 28, 2026, and will include an opening reception at the gallery on October 3 from noon to 2 p.m.
