PHILADELPHIA—Curated by InLiquid at Jed Williams Gallery, Wanderings is an exhibition of playful abstract paintings and photography. Finding inspiration through the study of movement: traveling, walking, or the act of creating; the work contains an experimental, meandering logic with an immediate, visceral appeal. Featuring the artists: Kit Donnelly, Deborah Leavy, and Jessica Joy London.

Dillon Ripley Center and the Kennedy Center’s Hall of States (Washington, D.C.), and the Tampa Museum of Art. Currently, she is working out of her studio at the Crane Arts building. She is currently an MFA candidate at University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design.
