Emily Kinney is probably best known for playing Beth Greene on “The Walking Dead”, but she’s also a singer-songwriter. Unlike some such “double threats”, for whom one or the other talent is secondary, Kinney’s equally good at both—her sweet voice is amiable and inviting, but doesn’t hide the yearning and tension in her strong melodies and story-like lyric sheets.

Andrew Millner
Through June 9
Miller Yezerski Gallery
460 Harrison Ave., Boston
Free, 617-262-0550
Andrew Miller’s preoccupation is flowers, in particular roses, which he depicts with a monochromatic style, his images—created with a variety of media—usually limited to black, red or white. His red-on-red still lives of roses in vases are particularly striking, imbued with an erotic energy that could very well make you swoon—even when the title is “Mother’s Day”. DANCE
