Featured Art Exhibits
Troi Qualls
1930’s Foyer
Troi Qualls is an artist based in the Shenandoah Valley and Richmond, Virginia. Their work considers how interior experience and exterior perception coexist, particularly within bodies that are read and projected onto, but refuse to be authored by those perceptions. This exhibition presents All My Giants, a series of paintings developed over the past four years. These works are not portraits but presences: protective and generative forms where growth can occur beyond imposed narratives or expectations. Treating visibility itself as material, the paintings move across deep time, holding both ancient and speculative futures while remaining grounded in the present. All My Giants engages questions of care, weight, place, beauty, and grief, allowing tenderness, danger, humor, and resilience to occupy the same ground. Qualls also teaches community art classes through the Visual Arts Center, focusing on accessible foundations for a creative life.
