“Bloom & Sigh” by Anna Curnes and Melanie M Brannan.

Art looks back and it looks forward in time. This piece encapsulates that perfectly.

As both an ode to Monet’s garden and a refined contemporary artwork, it’s a unique addition to any art collection or space.

The artists themselves shared, “Anna's unique glasswork meets Melanie's signature Impressionist brushstrokes, creating a vibrant fusion of color, texture, and dimension.”

Now available to see at ALG Fine Art. View our Summer Hang at 1302 Dragon St. Wednesday to Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm. Acquire online through our website.

“Host of Hugs” by Anna Curnes.

Each one is hand-sculpted with Murano glass lume and placed on a lucite base for display on a bookcase, vanity or a special shelf in your home.

“In a Land of Hope and Dreams” by Melanie Brannan.

37.5W x 29.5H x 5D"

Acrylic on Wood Panels

Landscape art like you’ve never seen before. “In a Land of Hopes and Dreams” is part of Melanie’s parametric series, bringing a new perspective to fine art.

When giving us insight into her method, Melanie shared, “The process requires sustained attention, patience, and a willingness to surrender control to the physical logic of the structure. Each brush stroke must account for movement, light, and spatial rhythm, transforming the act of painting into a dialogue between intention and unpredictability.
Through this labor-intensive approach, the work becomes more than a flat image. It becomes an experience shaped by time, perception, and presence.”

A multi-dimensional piece like this is best appreciated in person.

“Shine Through V” by Kaitlin Merchant.

24W x 36H"

Oil on Canvas in a Wood Frame

This piece encourages us all to look up, not only to see the beauty of the sky but also to experience the therapeutic effects of an upward glance.

When reflecting on this artwork, Kaitlin shared, “The act of looking up activates dopamine. Neuroscientists refer to it as the ‘molecule of more.’ Dopamine helps us achieve those dreams.”

The feeling of looking at “Shine Through V” is a mix of nostalgia for the past and optimism for the future. Experience it fully by viewing it at the gallery.

“Ascension and a Smoldering Heart” by Forrest Gearheard.

48W” x 72H"

Oil on canvas

A hyper-realistic piece full of metaphors, Forrest highlights the smoldering heart, resting on a precarious plate, as the work’s ethical center. Separated from the body, damaged yet alive, the heart is poised between irreversible descent and the quiet insistence on continued life.

“Vertical Communion” by Matt Kaplinsky.

48W” x 60H"

Oil on canvas in a black wood frame

In his own words, Matt tells the story behind this painting.

“While replacing a light fixture at my home, I encountered a lighting store whose entrance was framed by vertical displays of living plants. The interplay of plant forms and light in that moment proved unexpectedly arresting. Vertical Communion reflects my attempt to preserve that experience and translate it into paint.”

“Texas: Wild but Beautiful” by Grace Woodall.

18.75W" x 22.5H"

Finger painted acrylic on found frame

As a gallery in the heart of the Dallas Design District, we love highlighting local artists, both those who have lived in Texas most of their lives and those who are newcomers falling in love with the place. This painting prompts us all to think about our Texas memories and what our time here has meant to us.
