In loving memory of Gordana Jerosimic (1953-2025), this presentation honors an artist whose practice was defined by generosity, imagination, and a lifelong commitment to artistic growth.

Presenting Gordana's work is essential not only to preserve her legacy, but also to recognize the quiet yet profound impact she had as both an artist and an educator.

Her final participation, during her last days, 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 establishes a direct lineage between her practice and the values of the competition: an embrace of inner worlds, symbolism, and creative freedom, offered forward to the next generation of artists.

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. On a personal level, this exhibition holds particular meaning for IMUR Gallery, as Gordana was the very first artist we were honored to represent. To continue presenting her work is an act of gratitude and responsibility-one that acknowledges our beginnings, honors the relationships that formed our foundation, and ensures that her vision remains present, visible, and alive. - Ivy Huang, Founder and Gallery Director of IMUR
