 Have You Seen My Neighbor?, Sabine Carlson , Acrylic on gesso board, 12 x 16 x 1.5 in. (2025)

Viridian Artists is thrilled to announce WHAT DREAMS MAY COME, a group exhibition presenting the whimsical and fantastical realms inhabited by SABINE CARLSON, IRENE CHRISTENSEN, STEPHANIE LEMPRES, and SARAH RILEY. The exhibition will be on view from January 6–24, 2026. An Opening Reception will take place on Thursday, January 8, 2026, from 6–8 PM, followed by a Closing Reception on Saturday, January 24, from 4–6 PM.  

Awareness, Irene Christensen , Oil on linen, 18 x 24 in. (2024)

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME unfolds through surreal imagery and recurring figures that move fluidly between the conscious and the unconscious. Sabine Carlson conjures scenes of water birds and humans entwined in acts of rescue, evoking tenderness, risk, and mutual reliance. Irene Christensen reveals fragments of unseen landscapes, intimate microcosms poised between growth and decay, where body and terrain blur into one another. Stephanie Lempres offers abstract, geometric, color field paintings that establish a quiet architecture, opening a temporal window for dreaming, stillness, and possibility. Sarah Riley’s mixed media works and sculptures draw from myth, literature, and personal history, transforming memory through acts of reinvention.

Bursting with creativity and defying traditional aesthetics, the artists use their visual languages to search for meaning, expand narrative possibilities, and reshape contemporary understandings of artistic expression.
