Dock Space Gallery is pleased to present heART, a group exhibition celebrating artist couples whose creative practices span a wide range of disciplines, including glass, painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Held annually each February in honor of Valentine’s Day, heART highlights the unique dialogue that emerges when artists share both their lives and their practices.
This year’s exhibition features work by John Dyer, MiNHi England, Casey Arguelles Gregory, Tommy Gregory, Art Tresspasser, Diane Mazur, Suzanne Paquette, and John Sharvin. Together, these artists present a dynamic exploration of material, process, and perspective, revealing how personal relationships can shape creative inquiry without compromising artistic independence.
The exhibition brings together artists working in diverse approaches—from reflective and illuminated glass, to photography rooted in cultural history, to painting and sculpture informed by science, technology, and the natural world. Each pairing offers a distinct conversation, underscoring both shared sensibilities and contrasting voices.

A graduate of The Ohio State University, Sharvin previously served as Studio Technician Manager at the Pittsburgh Glass Center and was a competitor on Blown Away Season 3. His work explores processes of translation—from digital design to physical glass—combining CNC fabrication, 3D modeling, and handcraft to create objects that retain the memory of each stage of making.
MiNHi England, an independent artist and educator based in Seattle, works primarily in glass to explore existential themes tied to memory, grief, and emotional transformation. A graduate of Alfred University, England is the owner and operator of Top Hat Glassworks, a collaborative studio supporting emerging artists. Her work has been featured in major collections and publications, including American Craft Magazine, and she was a runner-up on Blown Away. Through mirrored surfaces, light, and repetition, her sculptures examine reflection as both material and metaphor.

With over 45 years of studio practice, Mazur has played a significant role in San Antonio’s contemporary art scene, including her involvement in the inaugural Blue Star exhibition.
