Center Gallery : Perseverance | Carol Lambert

Perseverance is about getting through life, especially the hard parts. In 19 etchings, mostly in color, we see characters responding to situations with strength, patience, energy, imagination, and sometimes resignation. In other words, they are very much like us.

North Gallery : Homefront | Natalie Baxter

In the past year, our homes have simultaneously become bunkers and battlefields. An oversized housecoat, plush assault rifles, quilts, and show ribbons make up the work in Homefront, an exhibition by Natalie Baxter that explores the complexities unveiled by the pandemic.

South Gallery : A Daily Practice - Coffeehouse Sketches | Sharon Trager

Anonymous, trying not to disturb my subject’s space, I am looking at light, shadow, form, gesture, movement. I draw, making a distinct effort to be sensitive to myself while keeping a concentrated observational focus on what I see. It is a practice, therefore results vary but I am most satisfied when I achieve a sensitivity of character and spirit in the drawing.
