Artwork Statement:
"Even though time and place can separate us from others, human connections are never broken. The past, especially when remembered with love, can be brought to the present. Ancestors, for example, are not far or gone; They remain a part of our life today. When we care about those people and remember those who came before us, we make a place for them in our daily lives. This connection helps us retain their presence with us. In this sense, our life is beyond our own years. The boundaries between the past, present and the future begin to blur and we understand that our existence is more than just us - it is something eternal."

Ari Hoskinson - July 11 to September 3, 2025
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Ari Hoskinson at the Cheryl Sallee Gallery, on view July 11 - September 3, 2025.
Artwork Statement:
“I was a writer before I was ever a visual artist. I can’t remember a second of my life before I fell in love with stories. It’s almost like my existence began not from birth, but from the moment I could hold a pen. Somewhere along the way, I began telling my stories through drawings rather than words. My work has a narrative quality that allows the viewer to get lost in the setting and characters. There’s something very strange and beautiful about capturing an entire story in a singular moment. I am always thinking about communication when I draw. I am painfully aware that every decision I make as the artist communicates something to the viewer. When the pen is in my hand, I’m the one deciding what that something is. Even the medium I’m using contributes to the message I am trying to get across. Black fineliner pens and ink give everything I draw a darker nature, I have to be conscious of that. This is something I choose to use to my advantage. Every scene I draw is laced with a hint.”
