Day Dreams and Night Visions Illuminates The Adler Gallery

Port Washington artist Rachelle Krieger presents a solo exhibition exploring nature, memory, and imagination through luminous, layered landscapes.

The Port Washington Public Library is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Port Washington artist Rachelle Krieger, on display in The Adler Gallery from November 12, 2025 through January 4, 2026. The public is invited to a reception on Sunday, December 6 from 2–4pm, with an artist presentation at 2:30pm.

This exhibit will present 15 recent paintings from Krieger’s ongoing series Day Dreams and Night Visions, including a mix of large-scale canvases and smaller, more intimate pieces. Among the works on view is Night Garden and Fireflies II, executed in acrylic, spray paint, oilbar, and oil on linen, measuring 36″ × 30″.  In this nocturnal composition, Krieger transforms garden forms, foliage, and ambient light into a shimmering, poetic vision that bridges realistic form and dream-inflected abstraction.

Krieger’s Day Dreams and Night Visions series originated from her plein-air excursions on the grounds of the Cedarmere Estate in Roslyn Harbor, NY beginning in 2023. Immersed in wildflowers, cattails, bamboo, white birches, and the ever-shifting patterns of light and shadow, she records what she sees by day—then allows her dreams, nocturnal memory, and emotional resonance to carry her deeper into the night visions she translates in the studio.  Her process is a rhythm of looking, remembering, imagining, and re-creating. Krieger draws deeply from her surroundings, combining observational discipline with imaginative vision. 

The exhibit encourages viewers to move across thresholds of awareness—to explore how observation, memory, imagination, and the natural world might merge.
