She Rides — Garner Large Gallery, Louisville, KY | November 2025–March 2026
Opening Reception Friday November 14, 2025 6-8 pm
She Rides marks a powerful homecoming for internationally recognized painter Erin McGee Ferrell. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, McGee Ferrell returns after 35 years of working as a professional artist across the United States and abroad to present this deeply personal exhibition at Garner Large Gallery. On view from November 2025 through March 2026, She Rides celebrates a full-circle moment in a remarkable career defined by bold color, physical gesture, and narrative power. The exhibition centers around an 18 x 6-foot feature painting, also titled She Rides, and showcases large-scale oil works that reflect Ferrell’s evolution as an artist and storyteller. Though known internationally for her Girl and Horse series, this exhibition expands beyond a single theme to encompass works from her Maine studio and new Kentucky-inspired paintings that bridge past and present. She Rides is both a visual autobiography and a homecoming—an exploration of memory, identity, and belonging from an artist whose journey has always been rooted in courage, curiosity, and the enduring pull of home.
