About the Exhibition
In loving memory of Gordana Jerosimic (1953–2025), SECRET GARDEN honors an artist whose practice was defined by generosity, imagination, and lifelong artistic growth.
“Presenting Gordana’s work is essential not only to preserve her legacy, but to recognize the quiet yet profound impact she had as both an artist and educator. Her participation in last year’s inaugural Jersey City-wide arts competition for students aged 14–21 — now renamed Secret Garden — intentionally echoes her earlier solo exhibition at IMUR Gallery of the same title. The naming creates a direct lineage between her practice and the competition’s values: inner worlds, symbolism, and creative freedom, offered forward to the next generation.
By foregrounding the work of art educators, we affirm the importance of those who shape creative futures while sustaining their own artistic voices, often beyond the spotlight. This exhibition holds particular meaning for IMUR Gallery, as Gordana was the first artist we represented. Continuing to present her work is an act of gratitude and responsibility — honoring our beginnings and ensuring her vision remains visible and alive.” — Ivy Huang, Founder and Gallery Director, IMUR
“Gordana’s interpretations of nature and its inhabitants are so intricately constructed that, from a distance, her work appears almost photographic. Up close, the delicacy of her linework and bold, intentional use of color reveal a richly imagined world that invites viewers to linger. Each piece balances precision and fantasy, creating a captivating visual experience. I am honored to collaborate with Ivy in presenting this beautiful body of work.” — Andrea McKenna, Gallery Director, Art House Gallery.
