Range reflects Nye’s continued evolution as an artist deeply engaged with the interplay of abstraction and emotional resonance. Her layered compositions, combining acrylic, oil, paper, and fabric, create immersive environments where materiality meets memory. Each piece invites a nuanced experience, rewarding close attention with subtle details and bold, expressive gestures.

Russo Lee Gallery provided the perfect setting for this body of work, emphasizing the tactile richness and rhythmic energy that defines Whitney’s paintings. The exhibition not only celebrates her mastery of medium but also cements her place in the contemporary art scene as a voice both innovative and deeply personal.
