​Welcome to Gallery Seven, home to a collection of fine art located in the Historic Gaylord Building in downtown Lockport, Illinois. The gallery features work from members along with local, national and international artists. We look forward to your visit and invite you to explore our monthly exhibitions and our store.

In "Somewhere Between", Christina Cooley invites viewers into the quiet space between knowing and wondering, movement and stillness. This collection of abstract and semi-figurative paintings explores emotional transition, intuition, and reflection. Bold marks and delicate forms shift across surfaces, with figures, shapes, and atmospheres that feel both familiar and elusive. Vivid color and texture convey states of becoming—fluid, unresolved, and alive. These works do not seek answers but instead offer space: to feel, to pause, and to linger in what cannot be fully defined.
