The Rising Phoenix Gallery presents "The Hush After the Storm: Evoking Serenity and Purpose from the Landscape" by Dennis Maloney, on view July 3 through August 1, 2026. Maloney, a combat veteran and painter, presents a collection drawn from five years of exploring landscape painting, reflecting the progression of how a hobby became a purposeful daily practice and a new identity. Early works feature aggressive marks, dense layering, and high intensity color, while later works move toward more naturalistic palettes, clearer drawing, and calmer compositions. Visitors are warmly invited to the Opening Artist Reception on Friday, July 3 from 5-7 PM, celebrating the opening of the exhibition in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with an opportunity to engage directly with the artist and fellow community members. Admission is free and all are welcome!
