Valkarie Gallery Presents a Lyrical Exploration of Nature, Imagination, and Poetry in Art

Valkarie Gallery is pleased to present The “Tender Wild”, a collaborative exhibition featuring artists Alison Flannery and Colleen Tully, opening this season alongside a companion group exhibition, “Poetic Reverie”, a call-for-entry showcase featuring several artists interpreting poetry through visual art.

The “Tender Wild” brings together two distinct artistic voices rooted in reverence for the natural world and the quiet poetry found within it. Through paintings that move between observation and imagination, the exhibition explores themes of tenderness, transformation, and the delicate relationship between human emotion and the living landscape.

Colleen Tully’s work draws from contemporary imaginative realism, often incorporating repurposed antique headboards and mirrors as frames that function like altars or portals. Her paintings depict contemplative figures, symbolic imagery, and dreamlike narratives that evoke myth, ritual, and the inner life. Each piece invites viewers into a space where memory, devotion, and imagination quietly converge.

Alison Flannery’s work reflects the lyrical beauty of nature itself. Through animals, flora, and expansive landscapes, Flannery captures moments of stillness and presence within the natural world. Her paintings celebrate the poetry embedded in wild places, inviting viewers to reconnect with the delicate balance of ecosystems and the quiet intelligence of the creatures that inhabit them.

Together, the artists create a dialogue between inner mythology and the external world; between dream and wilderness—revealing the many ways nature can be both sanctuary and source of inspiration.

Opening alongside the collaborative exhibition is “Poetic Reverie”, a curated call-for-entry group show featuring several artists whose work interprets poetry through visual language. The exhibition invites artists to translate verse, metaphor, lyric and literary inspiration into works of art, expanding the relationship between written and visual expression.

While The “Tender Wild” explores poetic imagination through two distinct artistic practices, “Poetic Reverie” broadens the conversation, offering diverse perspectives on how poetry can be felt, visualized, and reimagined through art.

Together, these exhibitions transform the gallery into a space of reflection, where imagery functions like verse and each work becomes a visual stanza in a larger poetic dialogue.

Both exhibitions invite viewers to slow down, look closely, and experience the quiet intersections of art, nature, and language.
