Evelyn Dunphy: Dunphy

Evelyn Dunphy returns to Nepenthe Gallery with a solo exhibition of her original watercolors, revisiting the collection that adorned the gallery's walls when it first opened in March 2022. The show, titled "May the Road Rise Up to Meet You," offers guests, friends, and collectors the opportunity to meet the artist and experience her luminous, emotionally resonant paintings. Dunphy's work is celebrated for its distinctive point of view and ability to convey feeling and atmosphere through light, color, and style, as noted by juror Katherine Chang Liu: "If you took 100 painters to that location, only Dunphy would choose that particular point of view."

When: Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM — opening reception only; no end date for the exhibition is given.
