Xavier Pierce - Hushed Light

Our current gallery features paintings by Xavier Pierce in a series called Hushed Light.

Xavier Pierce is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in northeast Portland, Oregon. Using painting as his  primary language, he reflects on memory, emotion, and presence. Drawing from lived experience, he uses art as a thinking tool and a way to navigate life’s emotional currents, translating internal moments into visual compositions. What began as a personal process for understanding change and growth has evolved into a practice rooted in the belief that creativity is essential to the human experience. With gratitude to his family—Twila, Lavon, Jada, Grandma Cain, and Papa Cain—and to his fiancée, Hannah. Hushed Light emerges from finding solace in the quiet rhythms of the everyday.
