'Hiding in Plain Site: Retrospective of an Unknown Artist' – Debut Art Exhibition by Joseph A. Henseler

Union Hall Gallery presents Hiding in Plain Site, the debut retrospective by San Diego-based artist and designer Joseph A. Henseler, opening Saturday, July 12, 2025. The exhibition features 88 original works—ranging from sculpture and stained glass to painting and architectural design—created over the course of 30 years without public display.

The show offers a rare glimpse into the deeply introspective practice of an artist who has quietly created in communion with nature, spirit, and self. Having moved across the country to live in the mountains of San Diego County to be mentored by renowned artist James Hubbell, Henseler’s work is rooted in reflection, emotional depth, and human connection.

Opening night includes live music, refreshments, and a Q&A with the artist. The final night of the exhibition will feature a special live performance by Henseler’s wife, Chilean vocalist Lorena Isabell.

Hiding in Plain Site runs through August 10 at Union Hall Gallery (2323 Broadway #201, San Diego, CA 92102). 

Admission is free and open to the public.
