Petite Galerie celebrates joy and playfulness in art. The micro gallery was born out of a shared love of art and tiny objects. These pieces shouldn't be confused with miniatures, they are meant to be small.
Play FULL is our first juried exhibition in the Petite Galerie, bringing together three local artists Abigail Duquette, Kasey Rosselli and Dan Wagoner, whose work engages with our driving inspiration: play! Play can be a force in the creative process, whether as a method for experimentation, inspiration or in the content itself. These artists engage with the theme in their own way, whether through use of color, silly imagery or thoughtful reflection whilst creating the pieces.
Dan Wagoner - Youngest Energy is a piece I made to exemplify the personality and care-free spirit of my youngest daughter who inspires me every day to push my artistic exploration to the limits.
Abigail Duquette - Inspired by doodles, retro patterns, and childlike wonder, I use curves, repetition, and layered color to create abstract pieces that feel alive—like the colors are dancing.
The work invites viewers to slow down and get lost in the loops, textures, and playful balance of spontaneity and structure. While each piece stands on its own, together they create a visual rhythm—vibrant, uplifting, and rooted in curiosity.
At its core, this series is about finding joy in the little things—brushstrokes and color combos.
