“My work is often mixed-genre and multidisciplinary, exploring the dynamics of belonging/not belonging in U.S./Mexico (and elsewhere). I explore oppositional dynamics such as cultural loss/assimilation, memory/fragmentation, migration/homeland, and often through the lens of poetics: visual poetry, video poetry, found objects, and text. Through visual abstraction, I investigate and document what it means to navigate geographic, cultural, and linguistic loss (and reacquisition).”

Islands of Certainty, Mark Hogensen
Islands of Certainty, Mark Hogensen
Muralist and painter Mark Hogensen has created new drawings for Dock Space Gallery exploring the “uneasy meeting of the familiar and the impossible.” Working primarily with ink on paper for the last three years, Hogensen’s art making “has been and is about the interpretation, alteration, and reorganization of expected perceptions. Each of the elements that make up our surroundings seemingly beg for a re-assignment or new orchestration.”
Hogensen says, “Alongside this Island of Certainty you may drift into spatial representations and objects that don’t agree with the aforementioned familiar.This creates subtle or even blatantly impossible images.These visual inconsistencies provide a perceptual adventure that forces a diversion from our real world experience.”

An Ocean in the Desert, Maria Brown
“Womanhood, sex, death, unlikely pairings, self portraiture, and the surreal come together to describe the narrative that is the symbolism of my womanhood and navigating this path without a mother in my life. Becoming a woman on my own has forced me to go deeply within and find the connections in the world, often hidden in plain sight. It is this process that assists me in understanding life and myself. “An Ocean in the Desert” references the blatant duality of every experience, the euphoria and the perceived failures and loss. An Ocean in the Desert also references childhood memories living in Florida for over a decade yet having ancestral roots in South Texas and Mexico. The dualities of my life help me to see the world in contrast, which aids my artist mind to find symbolism in even inanimate objects.”

Feast Day, Marcus Clarke
“Sociologist Charles Taylor describes the immanent frame as the social milieu that is the unavoidable default state of society, or the waters that we unknowingly swim in. As a post-Christian culture haunted by moral and political Christian framework, it’s increasingly difficult to have faith without taking on ideological baggage. My work, Feast Day, is about this tension. In my sculpture and installation practice, I create assemblages of objects and images that create a sense of festivity and excitement, as well as tension and unease. I use materials like LED advertising signs, reflective road barricades, disco balls, confetti, and strobe lights, and pair these with religious ephemera like crucifixes, liturgical objects, scripture, and religious sound- bites that offer alarm and intrigue, familiarity and subversion. The absurdity and
anachronistic pairing of objects allude to “negative theology” and mystic ideas of the unknowability and un searchability of God and inquire into how that void space is ripe for theological questions as a departure from the imminent frame.” -Marcus Clarke BIO - Marcus studied Advertising and Architectural History at Pratt Institute and SavannahCollege of Art and Design–he thinks deeply about media, communication, philosophy, theology, and the built environment. His art career began when moving to Austin in 2019, and since had solo and two shows Zion’s Window (2020), Two Tides Torn (2020), Sans Land (2021), 28 Works on Ecclesiastes (2023), and In the Meantime (2023). He attended artist residency at Casa Lu in Mexico City, an artist and curatorial residency at Vesper Austin, and has received press from Glasstire and Almost Real Things. Clarke currently lives in San Antonio and is an MFA candidate at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He has pursued theological coursework at Duke Divinity School and is active in education initiatives at the UTSA Southwest School of Art and the Old School Makerspace. |

From the intimate shape of a hand, a family memory, or a flower, to the broader shape of a nation, each artwork is a tangible representation of an idea, an emotion, or a perspective, contributing to the overall shape of human experience.
Rachael Duke fuses artwork and activism to disrupt oppressive structures and empower social change.Using photographs of protest posters she took during rallies in Texas, and the online posts of people fighting against oppression, she hopes to inspire viewers to take action to support causes they care about. Peter French is a husband, father of three, real estate developer, and photographer. French’s portraits in memoriam of his father and mother-in-law, both lost to cancer in the past two years offer glimpses into personal histories and relationships, shaping our understanding of individual and familial identity. Emma Garcia is a multi-disciplinary artist known for her process based works in metal, fabric, and photography. Garcia’s metal and ceramic sculptures explore the uncomfortable emotions that arise through internal and external struggles while capturing the organic shape of nature. Donovan Martinez’s creative process involves using wood, steel, and cement, which present unique challenges due to their inherent nature. Through these materials, and the process that evolves, Martinez finds temporary moments of clarity. Olivia Scott is a recent high school graduate looking forward to attending School of The Visual Arts in New York this fall. Scott’s stained glass art designs have been inspired by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Mid Century Modern aesthetics as she plays with experimental use of textured glass to add visual depth. This exhibition speaks to how experiences, materials, memories, and societal forces shape us as individuals and as a collective. |
Paul Martin is a visual artist, writer, inventor, and investor living in San Antonio, Texas. He started painting in college and had his first art show in New York City in 1985. He has lived and traveled all around the world.
Watching From the Pink Multicolored Universe (2025) is one of the latest additions to the series. Designed to be displayed diagonally, the piece evokes a sense of motion, wonder, and cosmic expansion. The MultiColored Universes series was created by Martin, using a method known as psychic automatism—a spontaneous, subconscious approach to creation that invites the artwork to emerge freely, without preconception. A new red and dark green painting have also been introduced as part of a reconfigured multi-piece work titled Vertical Infinity. This addition expands the visual language of the Multicolored Universes series and has inspired the creation of wearable extensions of the artwork. Fashion accessories such as ties, scarves, and bow ties have been derived from this piece, continuing the evolution of the series into a dynamic fusion of fine art and art in motion. Martin’s work will be accompanied by fellow artist Sabrina De La Rosa, a multidisciplinary artist based in San Antonio, TX. Her work explores themes of nature, philosophy, and emotional introspection through a sophisticated interplay of texture, form, and light. De La Rosa invites viewers into a thoughtful dialogue with her work, revealing layered complexities through nuanced and experimental visual language. |

When Here Was There by Andrea Willems
Texas based painter, Andrea Willems, conveys personal narratives with themes around loss, place, and memory through landscape, still life, and abstraction. Through vibrant colors, thin veil like layers of paint, and material, their work highlights the fleeting and the temporary. Willems earned a BFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2004 and is a New York Studio alumni. Received the 2023 Dennis Diderot grant and 2025-2026 Contemporary at Blue Star Berlin Residency Program/Künstlerhaus Bethanien International Studio Program recipient.
Her work is a part of the Galerie Diderot collection in Orquevaux, France, the Department of Arts & Culture, San Antonio, Texas, as well as private collections across Australia, New York, and California. Show Statement for When Here Was There: “Home” can be a place, a shelter, a dwelling.It can just as easily be a person or a thing, a feeling of safety, of care. The arms of a loved one, friends, a pet. Home can be food, a smell. Homes can be lost, found, built, sold, destroyed, changed. Homes can be real or imagined. Homes can be welcoming or not.Exploring popular ideas of home as a symbol of comfort, belonging, family, community, and permanency. “When Here Was There” is a sorting of nostalgia, of memories, of ideals, and daydreams relating to notions of home and where we find ourselves. |
Mind Over Matter by Nathan Scott
Nathan Scott is an emerging San Antonio based artist studying at The School of Art Institute of Chicago. Born and raised in San Antonio by an art teacher and an architect, he has been surrounded by the principles of art his whole life. His art radiates patience, perseverance, and dedication.
Nathan’s work is not only pen and ink drawings; but figure drawings, prints, and pieces made from thousands of dice. He uses perspective, both visually and physically to create a 2.5D perspective. He creates with the belief that anyone with the materials around you can create great artwork. Mind Over Matter is about the process of creating and how challenging it can be. Nathan states that, “I have a difficult relationship with my work, it’s in between a passion and a profession. It is challenging to express my mental flow in any other way than through art. Every piece is a part of me, all of my thoughts and ideas that I cannot express physically. Most of my work takes weeks or months to finish, but when it comes time to put the final touches on it makes every late night worth it.” |

The Unseen Journey by Juan Vallejo

Adrian De La Cruz, Nia Jaramillo, Gilbert Martinez, Gloria Chavera Ramirez, Rubio, and Uri Whitehead
|
Juan Vallejo is a San Antonio based artist exhibiting in a solo exhibition at Dock Space Gallery as part of the city of San Antonio’s Xicanx Month, a city-wide celebration commemorating the Chicano Arts Movement. This collection of works reflects his personal journey as a migrant worker, including both newly created pieces—like a stained-glass shadow box—and previously unseen works from his time in graduate school at UTSA. The show also features family relics that have endured through generations, offering a deeply personal thread in what is a familiar tapestry for residents of South Central Texas.
Vallejo explains, “Guided by the rhythm of seasonal migrations, my work emerges from the tactile memory of labor and land. Through clay, I honor the resilience of the migrant body, calling in the spirit of butterflies and their forms as they make their steady, persistent movement across borders. Their migratory bodies echo the work and movement of people, echoing stories of displacement, endurance, and transformation.” Juan Vallejo’s family is from San Luis Potosi in the mountains of Central Mexico. Their village was named “El Tanque de Dolores” which was built in the ruins of a Hacienda. They came to the US for a better life. Vallejo grew up working in the fields into his early twenties. He would leave school in May for the planting season and return to the valley in the Fall. There were times he and other young workers had to hide from the school buses because they were not supposed to be working. Growing up a migrant worker, he was brought up using his hands either digging in the ground harvesting onions or using tools to fix broken machinery. With clay Vallejo continues working with his hands to create and experiment, expanding on the movement and labor of his childhood and heritage. |
Lone Star Gallery (formerly Dock Space Annex) is featuring San Antonio based artists: Adrian De La Cruz, Nia Jaramillo, Gilbert Martinez, Gloria Chavera Ramirez, Rubio, and Uri Whitehead in conjunction with the city of San Antonio’s Xicanx Month, a city-wide celebration commemorating the Chicano Arts Movement.
Adrian De La Cruz is a San Antonio painter and muralist. Nina Jaramillo is a painter and poet born and raised on the Southside of San Antonio. Born and raised in San Antonio, Gilbert Martinez’s work is heavily influenced by his surroundings and heritage as he combines illustration, screen printing and painting to create works on wood and paper. Local Mexican American artist and Art educator, Gloria Chavera Ramirez draws inspiration from discrimination she experienced while working in the fields as a child. Her artwork reflects personal memories and life experiences that blend authentic cultural roots with touches of humor to celebrate Xicana heritage. Gallery owner, arts organizer, mentor, and established artist are all the different roles that Rubio has accomplished. Rubio is a Contemporary Chicano Artist, San Antonio born and raised in the West Side. Rubio's work illustrates personal experiences and life events as a Chicano artist. Uri Whitehead is a multidisciplinary artist based in San Antonio, Texas, working across painting, relief printmaking, and metal sculpture. Uri’s practice explores personal experience, cultural memory, and emotional reflection. |

Fierros Fronterizos by Brian Wedgworth
Brian Wedgworth is a Texas-based sculptor known for his bold, geometric work in welded steel. His practice explores the interplay between industrial materiality and autobiographical narrative, reflecting themes of resilience, transformation, and rhythm. His sculptures, often constructed from found and fabricated steel, bear visible electrode seams that evoke scarred or stitched surfaces—metaphors for healing, repair, and endurance. He builds modular components independently, later assembling them into intuitive forms that echo personal rhythms and symbolic patterns. These formal decisions are never arbitrary: for Wedgworth, process and memory are tightly woven.
Born in San Antonio and based in the Rio Grande Valley, Wedgworth has been deeply rooted in the cultural landscape of the Rio Grande Valley for over two decades. Alongside his wife, he operates Titan Studio, a creative fabrication space where he produces large-scale works for both public and private collections. Wedgworth studied sculpture at the University of Texas–Pan American (now UTRGV) under the mentorship of Richard Hyslin, whose influence helped shape his commitment to craft and community. He later contributed to building welding programs at regional universities, expanding access to the technical arts in South Texas. Deeply influenced by the multicultural environment of the border region, Wedgworth bridges cultures and disciplines through a practice that is grounded in physical labor and poetic form. Wedgworth has exhibited extensively, with over 75 group exhibitions across Texas and Northern Mexico. Notable solo exhibitions include Solar Fusion at the Contemporary Art Museum of Tamaulipas in Matamoros, Mexico and Tejidos en Fierro at the Rockport Center for the Arts. His work has been featured in regional sculpture symposiums and outdoor sculpture exhibitions and is held in permanent collections at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, the International Museum of Art & Science in McAllen, and in private collections across the United States, Mexico, and Europe. An active arts advocate, Wedgworth is a founding member of the McAllen Art Council and serves on the board of the Texas Sculpture Group. |
Inhabiting Nepantla: Exploring the Layers of Border Identity curated by Aleida García with artists Francisco Javier Dragustinovis, Michel Flores Tavizón, Enrique Palacios Alvarez, Ramon Claudio, Alyssa Christiansen and Cecilia Sierra
This exhibition is sponsored by The Lone Star Art Alliance. Dock Space Gallery is pleased to announce Inhabiting Nepantla: Exploring the Layers of Border Identity Curated by Aleida García, Cultural Arts Director for the City of San Benito, Texas. This multidisciplinary group exhibition brings together contemporary artists working across painting, installation, mixed media, and printmaking to explore the layered cultural, political, and emotional landscapes of the borderlands of South Texas.
Participating artists include Francisco Javier Dragustinovis (installation, conceptual art) and Michel Flores Tavizón (illustration, installation, printmaking), both from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico; Enrique Palacios Alvarez (printmaking), who works across both Matamoros and Brownsville, TX; and from the San Benito, Texas side, Ramon Claudio, Alyssa Christiansen (both working in mixed media), and Cecilia Sierra (painting, printmaking, textile). Inhabiting Nepantla draws inspiration from scholar, writer, and thinker Gloria Anzaldúa, whose seminal work Borderlands/LaFrontera reframes the border as both a physical and spiritual space. This exhibition highlights the state of nepantla—the in-between, the place of transition, tension, and transformation. In the Rio Grande Valley, this state of in-betweeness defines daily life: it is where cultures meet, languages blend, and identities are constantly negotiated. The exhibition navigates five interwoven themes that reflect the dynamic realities of life along and across borders. Artists reflect on Roots and Histories, uncovering Indigenous presence and intergenerational migration narratives that shape collective memory. Tradition and Ritual surfaces through works that celebrate music, food, beliefs, and bilingualism as vital, evolving cultural expressions. The concept of Nepantla — a Nahuatl term meaning "in-between" — frames the border as a space of hybridity and cultural negotiation, where identities are fluid and new forms emerge.Resistance and Resilience threads through the exhibition in powerful visual narratives that confront displacement, amplify voices of survival, and champion social justice. Finally, Contemporary Expressions highlights bold, future-facing work by emerging artists who are reimagining what border culture can be not defined by division, but shaped by possibility, connection, and creative vision. “By contextualizing the exhibition around these layers, we present a dynamic portrait of border culture in the Rio Grande Valley as both deeply rooted and continuously evolving” explains Aleida García. Inhabiting Nepantla: Exploring the Layers of Border Identity calls attention to the border in all its forms beyond a simple dividing line. |

Tattooed Jelly Babies by Ovidio Giberga
Ovidio Giberga’s “Tattooed Jelly Baby” series grew out of earlier figurative work that was much more representational. He enjoys the tension between the idea of vulnerability and the imposition of imagery on their surface. Whether interpreted as decorated or disfigured, Ovidio pushes his porcelain babies out into this uncertain world (the Apothetae), for the viewer to decide what happens to them. His work is engendered with ideas of social, political and cultural values related to the body and lived experience. It also challenges western traditions of pictorial space where everything fits neatly into a frame. Instead, his images flow freely across the form covering every surface (horror-vacui) making them fully present as three-dimensional forms, to be held and turned in the hands and leaving the power of display to the curator.
Ovidio is a first generation American of Cuban heritage. He grew up mostly outside the U.S., in Spain, Italy, Colombia, and Venezuela. These experiences have provided him with a broad cultural perspective that has become a source of inspiration for his work. He received his M.F.A. from the University of Florida, and has been invited to present workshops and lectures throughout the U.S. including NCECA, Alfred University, California State University Chico, University of Hartford in Connecticut, and University of Montana. Ovidio’s works are exhibited nationally in museums, galleries, and college and university venues. He lives and works in San Antonio, Texas, where he heads the Ceramics program at the UTSA. His expertise in ceramics has led him to participate in many exciting interdisciplinary projects, with engineering, anthropology, archeology, and most notably, as materials researcher (for six years), for an international team developing a 3-D printer that melts lunar soil and shapes it into bricks. |
Almost Perfect, a group exhibition showcasing ceramic works by Brooke Armstrong, Olga Aviles, Allysha Farmer, Verena Gaudy, Sawyer Hewitt, Lauren Matney, and Mary Wuest.
Curators statement: The artists participating in this exhibition, in Lone Star Gallery, have had Ovidio Giberga as a mentor. Mentoring to Ovidio means facilitating and fostering artists’ creative and professional goals. There is a reciprocity to mentoring that Ovidio values. It creates a sense of mutual respect, trust, and understanding. These artists have developed their own unique style and expression to their art.
The title of this exhibition, “Almost Perfect”, is a philosophical phrase that these artists have heard Ovidio say many times; that perfection is the enemy of the good. He states that this is part of his Cuban heritage, that has been reinforced through experience and time. Each artist in engages with the medium of clay through their own unique lens—ranging from functional pottery to sculptural exploration—while embracing the nuances, unpredictability, and material honesty inherent to the ceramic process. “Seeking perfection is an invaluable pursuit—even if it's often unattainable. As artists, delighting in the serendipitous imperfections that arise throughout the creative process allows us to embrace them in a way that fosters deeper resonance between our work and our audience.” --Olga Aviles Almost Perfect invites viewers to reconsider the idea of flaw and finish, and to find beauty in the expressive, imperfect, and deeply human nature of handmade objects. |

Outer Dialogue featuring Delaney Kate Fuori, Cassia Perez, Audrina Miranda, Julianna Robles, Alya Estala, Soul Dixon, Christina Olvera, and Eden Courtney.
Lone Star Gallery is proud to present Outer Dialogue, a group show featuring Delaney Kate Fuori, Cassia Perez, Audrina Miranda, Julianna Robles, Alya Estala, Soul Dixon, Christina Olvera, and Eden Courtney. These students are enrolled in the UTSA Teen Studio Intensive, part of the UTSA Young Artist Programs. This after-school program is designed for high school students with a strong interest in the visual arts. This academically rigorous program spans an entire school year, with a semester-long college credit option available through the UTSA School of Art. Participants commit to developing their artistic voice and portfolio while also engaging in community and service-learning projects throughout their time in the program.
Outer Dialogue is a curated selection of works that explore the transformation of inner reflection into outward expression. Drawing from past years in the program, each piece represents a deeply personal visual response to the question: What happens when our inner voices are made visible? In a world where young voices are often overlooked or unheard, these emerging artists use their creative practice to express values, desires, emotions, and narratives that are uniquely their own—inviting viewers into a space of empathy, vulnerability, and connection.This exhibition is curated by Kimberly Bishop, Associate Director of the Young Artist Programs at UT San Antonio.Special thanks to Alex Chambley and Hillary Rochow, TSI’s Artist Educators. |
