Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty presents an exhibition of new work by Douglas Miller and Karen Weeks. Presented by: First Financial Bank. In affiliation with Louisville Visual Art.

Douglas Miller is a professional artist whose drawings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the US. Additionally, Douglas does freelance illustrations as well as private and corporate commissions. Recently, he received the prestigious Al Smith Fellowship for Visual Arts from the Kentucky Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. His artwork is in the collection of the Evansville Museum of Arts and Science, the University of Louisville, the Speed School of Engineering, and numerous private collections throughout the world. His work has appeared in Fine Art Connoisseur, American Artist: Drawing magazines, Manifest Gallery Drawing Annuals and has been featured on NPR First Watch. In 2018, Douglas received his MFA from the University of Louisville.

Karen Weeks is primarily a printmaker, utilizing the letterpress printing machine to generate her imagery. Her focus on pattern and repetition is reflected in her use of this outmoded technology built for creating multiples of the same image. Creating exact replicas, though, is not her aim; instead through exploring the variations within limitations, she finds a more compelling goal. After generating these images and color fields, she later collages them into unique pieces of artwork. Karen finds inspiration from nature and enjoys meditating on the repetitious systems of nature from which all patterns evolve; evoking in her imagery the cross section of technology and the natural world.
