Press Release

LeMieux Galleries is pleased to present Lisa Shimko, The Hazy Clarity of Daydreams, opening on October 4th, 2025, with an encore reception on November 1, 2025. The exhibition is on view through November 22nd, 2025. LeMieux Galleries is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00AM to 5:00PM.

The Hazy Clarity of Daydreams is Lisa Shimko’s first solo exhibition at LeMieux Galleries. Shimko invites viewers to step beyond logic and into the realm of daydreams with her latest body of work. Through a process of stream-of-consciousness painting, Shimko skillfully filters the complexity of the world through a lens of childlike wonder and subconscious play. This series is not concerned with hyper-realistic truth, but rather with an open-ended journey that celebrates curiosity, movement, and discovery. The Hazy Clarity of Daydreams offers a moment to leave reason behind and reconnect with an innate sense of play and imagination.

 

Lisa Shimko is a South Carolina-based artist who grew up in Pennsylvania, where she also earned her BFA in Painting from the University of the Arts. Her early life in Pennsylvania continues to influence her work; colors, forms, and textures from nature, along with the designs of Pennsylvania German folk art, form the foundation of her artistic practice. Reflecting her multiple inspirations, Shimko’s subjects range from painterly abstractions to surrealistic wildlife, always captured in her signature nostalgic and dreamy style.
