Monika Merva is an award-winning, New York-based photographer who is most inspired by the people and landscapes that surround her. A SCAD alumna (M.F.A., photography, 1998), Merva has enjoyed an illustrious career that has included group and solo exhibitions around the world. Her work is featured in such major public collections as the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas.

In the "Origins of Emotions" series, Merva depicts people, nature and still lifes that offer viewers quiet and intimate moments of contemplation. Seeking to preserve memories of loved ones and moments, she searches, in her own words, for "beauty in the ordinary — surprises in the commonplace."

  • Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Sunday, 1-4 p.m.
