Art Exhibition: "Ray's Flowers" - Ray Borton (2/12 - 3/9)
Finding and recording artistic moments in nature has been the goal of my photography for more than half a century. A rock, a flower, a reflection - each becomes something worthy of being seen again when captured by my camera.
Art Exhibit: "Memories and Shadows" - Kristen Rose Jones (2/12 - 3/9)
“Memories and Shadows” is about exploring the human psyche through depictions of a wide spectrum of emotions with an emphasis on the difficult emotions and experiences. As painful as certain events may be, they are often the ones that bring people together the most as they share in each other’s grief and healing. During difficult times, people realize how much they need one another. This exhibition delves into themes such as confusion, sorrow, and hope through figurative watercolor paintings to better understand one another and connect through shared experience.
