Exhibition "All Around Her" by Kristy Blackwell

The Riverdale Hub Gallery is excited to announce the exhibition “All Around Her” by Kristy Blackwell, on view from June 25th to July 15th, 2025. Opening reception will be held on Saturday, July 5th, 2 – 4pm, artist talk begins at 3pm.

Kristy Blackwell uses figurative realism to capture some of the complex nature of humanity. While she is often experimenting with materials and palettes, her subject matter remains consistent – the depiction of strength alongside vulnerability. There is common understanding in these relatable images: beauty in sadness and in fortitude, beauty in the exposed and in the protected.

Trained in fine art, Kristy has had an accomplished career as a digital matte painter and compositor on over 70 feature films. Her passion remains rooted in fine art and her experience creating photo-real digital images has inspired her to experiment with various traditional techniques and materials.
