In Memories and menageries artists Carl Linstrum and Brian Hibbard offer deeply personal visions in their work. Carl Linstrum, based in Atlanta, Georgia, presents his series Monochrome memories. These paintings evoke places visited in the past, where memory becomes a selective and incomplete version of reality.

"Recalling these special places can be difficult", Linstrum explains. "These visual descriptions are a selective version of the truth that doesn't diminish the beauty and power of the experience." His work explores the paradox of truth versus recollection, where the imprecise nature of memory amplifies its emotional resonance.

Brian Hibbard, hailing from South Carolina, draws inspiration from the landscapes and wildlife that have left a deep impression on his mind. His animal paintings are infused with memories of the American Southwest, while his landscapes reflect serene mornings near his rural South Carolina home. "My sense of adventure and discovering something new is a driving force behind my paintings", Hibbard notes. His works transport viewers to these vivid environments, capturing fleeting moments and the beauty of discovery.
