A look back at an inspiring afternoon at NSU Art Museum for an artists-led tour of Close to Home.

On August 8, artists Cheryl Pope, Piero Penizzotto, Zoe Schweiger, and Leo Castañeda shared personal insights into their work and the intimate connections that shape their creative practices.

Close to Home brings together artists from the South Florida community whose work explores private worlds, chosen family, kinship, ancestral lineage, romantic relationships, friendship, and the loved ones who continue to inspire us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and a closer look at the stories behind the art.

“…in some ways it feels like im carving away at an image or im building up the image with paint. I think a lot about the term “decollage” which I first heard from Mark Bradford in describing the way he makes his artworks.

Even though my work is currently pretty traditional; making figurative paintings on stretched gessoed canvas on a squared frame, I still see the canvas as a three dimensional object. I love when you can see the brush strokes that make their way onto the sides of the canvas and drip down and pool underneath.” - @zoesschweiger

For Zoe Schweiger, painting becomes a space of sensory memory, where heat, humidity, night light, and human closeness settle onto the canvas as naturally as color itself. Born and based in Miami, the artist turns her hometown into a quiet yet ever-present character within her work — a place shaped by extreme temperatures, environmental fragility, shifting social landscapes, and an energy that seems to dissolve the boundaries between body and space.

A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Schweiger has developed a figurative painting practice centered on the depiction of those close to her, captured in living rooms, queer clubs, bars, and other spaces of encounter and belonging. Through translucent layers of paint and softened contours, she constructs images that appear to dissolve under the pressure of heat, rain, or memory itself.

Wonderful afternoon last Saturday, August 8, 2026, learning more about four great artists at the NSU Art Museum.
Wonderful new works in a variety of media, including acrylic paint on canvas, wool punctured into cashmere, papier-mâché sculpture , and digital video.
I’m proud to be a board member of the museum and I love to support our emerging and newly discovered artists.
