✨Whimsy, wonder, and a little bit of weird.✨ This featured artist trio from Walk on the Wild Side: Chilling Creatures blur the line between strange and sublime: inviting us to rethink what makes something “creepy,” “curious,” or even beautiful.
🐣Joelle Douthit (@joelledouthit.art | www.joelledouthit.art) Joelle’s relief prints “Cockatrice: An Unlikely Family” reimagine the mythical creature born from a rooster’s egg and a serpent’s care. Her intricate relief print captures that strange parenthood with intensity and curiosity, centering on the shared gaze of three unlikely companions.
🕸️Cherish Gregory Cherish’s piece “Inner Beauty” transforms a fearsome spider into something soft, sparkly, and strangely inviting. Embroidery and mixed media come together in a Lisa Frank-esque form that asks viewers to look again and find elegance in what they fear.
🫁Noah Scalin (@noahscalin) In “Pulse (Revisited): Glock),” Noah paints over his original burned effigies of guns used in mass shootings, revealing fragile anatomies within that match those of the humans on both ends of the weapon. This mixed media work explores the cycle of violence with emotional weight and unflinching honesty, forcing a pause in a distracted world.
You can experience this work and view more art in-person at Walk on the Wild Side: Chilling Creatures, on view now at the Suffolk Center Galleries until May 31. Galleries are open Tues-Sun, 10am-4pm.

Dark whimsy, dreamy landscapes, and a dash of the uncanny.👁️🗨️
These three artists invite us into surreal realms where fantasy meets fine art, and the unusual becomes unforgettable.
🖌️ Jon Carraher (@joncarraherart) Jon's work transports viewers into mystical landscapes alive with foggy light and folklore. A self-taught painter inspired by dreams and mythology, Jon creates oil paintings that feel like visions from another realm; otherworldly yet grounded in nature's quiet magic.
🦷 Cassandra Guerra (@feyrieart) Cassandra's ceramic work blends playfulness with discomfort in the best possible way. Her piece “Cereal” reimagines an everyday object with a freaky twist: realistic teeth that are sculpted, glazed, and arranged with precision. It’s creepy, charming, and completely captivating.
🪲 Foster Novotny (@foster__creativity) Foster’s mixed media art is delicate and deeply layered- both emotionally and materially. Using preserved insects, blossoms, and foraged textures, her untitled pieces suspend emotions in time, leaving room for you to project your own story into the wild.

In “Draxo’s Name of Origin”, Peymon invites us into a frozen battleground where Draxo faces off against a flying serpent born of his own name and image.
