Collection: Cathy Keaton: THE LOOK April - June 2026

Zebulon Downtown Arts Council (ZDAC) + Drinking Gourd Gallery

Drinking Gourd Gallery is proud to partner with Zebulon Downtown Arts Council (ZDAC) to present “The Look,” a solo exhibition featuring works by artist Cathy Keaton. The show is part of the ZDAC quarterly exhibition series.

The collection of artwork centers on the expressive power of the eyes, with each piece offering a distinct and intimate exploration of gaze, emotion, and identity. With these compositions, the artist isolates the eyes as both subject and storyteller to capture subtle shifts in feeling, presence, and perspective that might otherwise go unnoticed. Each work invites viewers to not only look, but to also reflect on what it means to see, to be seen, and to connect without words.
