The Space Between is a celebration of the quieter moments in nature - the light between petals, the softness where sky meets horizon, the pause right before a season shifts. 

Featuring new work by Jennifer Mohr, Michael James Cisarik, and Emily Meisler, the exhibition brings together three distinct perspectives that share a sense of atmosphere, movement, and stillness. Layered landscapes, delicate details, and sculptural forms create a space that feels ethereal and unhurried - an invitation to slow down, look a little closer, and enjoy the beauty found in between.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Michael James Cisarik

Michael James Cisarik is an emerging abstract artist based in Houston, Texas. After attending the University of Texas at Austin for his undergrad and master’s degrees, he currently works full time in the energy industry and began painting for the first time in 2020. After only a matter of months, he began to sell works to clients and designers across the U.S. and has since been recognized by national and international publications and institutions like Condé Nast, Vanity Fair, Tatler, House & Garden, Paper City, Saatchi Art, London’s “Floorr” Magazine, Lisbon’s Suboart Magazine, Belgium’s Contemporary Art Issue, Vancouver’s “Booooooom” Magazine and The University of Texas at Austin, among others.

Emily Meisler

Emily Meisler is a sculpture artist working in metal, ceramics, and mixed media who creates work informed by naturally occurring patterns and shapes. She received a B.A. in Studio Art and a B.S. in Psychology from the College of Charleston and an M.F.A. with a concentration in sculpture from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been in exhibitions nationally and she has work in private collections internationally. Currently, she lives in Birmingham, AL and is focusing on a series of sculptures that explore and abstract organic forms in nature.

Jennifer Mohr

Jennifer L Mohr is an acrylic and mixed media painter living and creating in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada (the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations in Southern Alberta, and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3). She began exploring visual arts in early childhood, later earning her B.F.A. in painting at the University of Saskatchewan in 2003. With a nostalgic palette, expressive, layered marks, and lingering, ground-level perspective, Jennifer’s paintings place the viewer within the landscape, allowing them to experience the beauty and complexity of self-reflection within nature. Her paintings are part of private collections across the globe and have been featured in publications, including Create! Magazine, The Jealous Curator blog, and the popular website, My Modern Met.
