PATRICIA SWEETOW GALLERY is pleased to present Part 1 of two summer exhibitions. Summer 2026: Part 1 includes artists Uma Rani Iyli, Cornelia Schulz, Linda Sormin, and David Tomb.

Our exhibition presents an enigmatic, nostalgic romp with tiny dinosaurs, foregrounding the staggering loss of animal and bird species caused by human impact. David Tomb sets our stage with intimate contemporary portraits of birds. The paintings are composed as dioramas found at natural history museums, each painting tells a story of a bird species and its habitat.  Uma Rani Iyli, with her wrapped sari silk ‘paintings,’ opens our views with vibrant sunsets and nocturnal fields of color. Linda Sormin’s ceramic works remind us of the dense marshlands that shelter birds and the lush growth unhampered by human folly. Cornelia Schulz’s small-format oil paintings unfold a precious liberty to co-exist in pure visual fantasy, a dominion removed from consumption and the ever-harping signals of technology.
