They share the planet with us. Or, sometimes, they just inhabit our imagination.
Mondo Fauna is a group invitational exhibition celebrating the animal kingdom in all its forms—from the familiar and domestic to the surreal and fantastical. This collection brings together a diverse array of West Coast artists to explore our deep, complex, and often whimsical connection to the creatures we live alongside (and those we dream up).
This exhibition is more than a visual celebration of life; it is a benefit for Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.
Exhibition Sales: A portion of all proceeds from the general exhibition will also be donated to support senior dog rescue and adoption efforts.

This fall, California-based painter and surgeon Don Hershman unveils his most personal body of work yet with I AM A BARN, opening at Artifact Projects, 155 Suffolk Street, New York City.
In this evocative exhibition, Hershman transforms rural barns into monumental meditations on human resilience. Crafted in layers of acrylic, ink, and pencil on large-scale wood panels, each weatherworn structure becomes a symbolic portrait — cracked, bowed, enduring — reflecting the scars and strength of the human journey.
Hershman, a celebrated podiatric surgeon and artist, bridges precision and creativity across disciplines. His past shows, including The Art of Code Switching and Donald and Victor: Under the Influence, have received national acclaim, with features at the de Young Open, Sea Ranch Lodge, and in SF Arts Magazine.
I AM A BARN marks Hershman’s first major New York City solo exhibition since 2023, following a dynamic season of shows in San Francisco, Pleasanton, and Sonoma County. This series celebrates a universal truth: beauty and strength arise not in spite of wear, but because of it.
